Hope this isn't coming over as patronising btw
Not at all, you've actually got a point. It's an Island, so I've explored a fair bit of it as it is, and with the over abundance of tourists, most of the fun rides become chocked with coaches/cars roaring up and down any sort of high point.
More than the rides, I miss the chaos that the diversity of people accomplishes. A melting pot so to say.
There is stuff to do, I suppose it's just as @Timmy2wheels said. It's more of an insular culture, so finding engaging people is quite tough. I suppose I'm a bit lonely in that regards, more so than other places I've lived in abroad.
Mind you, they were mostly cities.

Ah, tourist spots are odd, particularly in season.
@Sparky Fair comment, I've never lived in London but always thought that it could be quite isolating if you don't have enough connections irrespective of where they originate.
Sometimes away from the big cities I would say that you have to be active in getting out and finding things to do, routes to ride, people to do interesting things with etc. There is more of a need to make things happen because it isn't always just there like it is in big cities.
Hope this isn't coming over as patronising btw. I don't know where you are and what it's like there so I might be talking out of arse!
