replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A2. I tend to do more guided tours at home than abroad, unless it’s a prerequisite of entry to something like the United Nations in Geneva. I’d rather find my own way around. #PTTravel

A4 We enjoy Major Tom’s Social in Harrogate - hippy vibe with nice pizzas and some great beers. #PTTravel

A4 #PTTravel I'll nominate Sally Lunn's Tea Room, in Bath. The Sally Lunn buns are worth walking miles for.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A3. I struggle to define local because I do get out so much. But in terms of places with a Dundee post code, I particularly love City Quay, Broughty Ferry, Camperdown Park and Tayport. The places I might see wildlife, basically. #PTTravel

A4 There are so many great local places. Pilgrims Gelato is a stop each time we're on Lindisfarne.
Great local food throughout Northumberland too

A4: If you are ever in Horsham, you have to have dinner at Zeytin. It's my favourite restaurant in the area. #PTTravel

A5: I tend to research, especially restaurants. I don't want to leave it to luck, I want to make sure that I am eating good food - especially from a local family owned restaurant. #PTTravel

A5 Usually word of mouth from friends or colleagues…or more usually we will stumble across somewhere by chance (we probably do a quick internet search to make sure that there hasn’t been a rat infestation or something similar!) #PTTravel

A5 #PTTravel See if the local paper has an online edition. You sometimes find good info there.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A4. Recently I’ve mostly travelled around Scotland, and the Old Pier in Stonehaven has become a real favourite for its croque-monsieurs. #PTTravel
kate_frankie
replying to @OanaRoua @OanaRoua I do some research and its paid off well in the past. I had some great meals in places like Hong Kong and San Diego that were not always tourist areas and often family run #PTTravel
NomadKeith
replying to @Txiki_Tales @Txiki_Tales #pttravel Ha! I was once recommended a superb (his words!) pub ... but, since my friend's visit, it had been taken over by a biker gang, busted twice for drugs and finally burnt to the ground!

A5 I check here! Twitter has been good. Colleagues and friends are always spot on too. Ask a local and check if you need reservations

Q6 What advice do you have for travellers who want to support local communities more when they travel?

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5. It’s not something I tend to research. Mostly I just eat wherever’s convenient or wherever has the tastiest-looking home baking in the window. #PTTravel

A6: Do you research before you go on the trip. There are plenty of places where you can find unbiased opinions online. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Dunnottar Castle. It’s about an hour’s drive, on the outskirts of Stonehaven. That’s still local in my book, anyway. #PTTravel

replying to @Txiki_Tales @Txiki_Tales #pttravel If anyone's going to Adelaide, I recommend the Bombay Bicycle Club on Torrens Road ... but always emphasise I was last there six years ago!

A6 Avoid the chains, don’t be afraid to explore local areas that are away from the tourist areas. This was a fabulous little place in the back streets of the Feria barrio in Seville. Brilliant food. #PTTravel

A6 Head off the tourist parts. Go to any district with students if you're looking for cheap and local. Don't be afraid to ask and use online resources to check places. Stay safe and enjoy!
