The Best UK Holiday Destination Is...

The Red RobinThe Red Robin
edited November 2009 in Not Sports Related
Following the Michael MacIntyre / Chris Dickson / Phil Parkinson poll I invite you all to nominate your favourite place in the UK - even if it is too expensive to go there on Holiday! - For me it is The Lake District, closely followed by The Peak District and then Bournemouth.

    Dorset, Devon and Cornwall all lovely. South Wales has brilliant beaches. IOW good too but mainly because I get free holidays there!

    If Kent is the Garden of England, then Gillingham is the compost heap in the corner :-)

    Plenty of beautiful places in the UK.

    The Northumberland coast has some lovely spots and (at least when I've been there) has the added merit of not getting too crowded. Wales has lovely beaches as does Cornwall as already mentioned. I also like the North Devon Coastline. Inland the North Yorkshire Moors take a lot of beating particularly if you find a nice pub serving a decent pint of proper bitter. (I realise bitter is a minority drink nowadays and Eurofizz lager is the drink of choice for many).

    Living in the middle of the fens it would have to be somewhere with hills...

    Probably the lake district, followed by the Scottish highlands finished of with north Wales (Three peaks challenge anyone?)

    Thought the train journey from Newcastle to Carlisle at the weekend went through some stunning countryside, shame about the bone shaker train!

    Living in a holiday destination I suppose I also see the worst of it as well i.e. crowds, drunks, traffic, litter, etc but when all you grockles have gone home it's still a lovely place to live, by and large. Quite like the winters down here as the beach is often empty and the waves are crashing in.

    Lots of nice places mentioned above (exc Gillingham) but Cornwall's especially lovely IMO.

    Haven't seen enough of England proper to comment comprehensively, but almost anywhere in Scotland qualifies in my books, and I loved Snowdonia. We've also really enjoyed our visits to both (London)derry and Belfast (really!)...

    I suppose it depends on what one wants from a holiday!
