Simoman 110 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I've travelled over almost all of England, Wales and Scotland, never Ireland unfortunately but what are your favourite places and why....... For me i love my home county of Lincolnshire, we have the rolling wolds, the coastline and the wide open fens, I love walking the dogs on a remote beach in a summer evening and swimming in the sea, visiting country pubs and somehow the pace of life seems slower here. I also love East Anglia, very similar to Lincolnshire and it has a relaxed feel and holds good memories. Scotland, and sorry my Caledonian cousins but for me Scotland starts at Perth , I have always found the highlands, especially around Inverness and Sutherland holds a magical quality and when im there i totally relax and switch off, seeing the huge herds of red deer, eagles soaring above the snow capped mountains and walking through remote glens and forests with the dogs, just solitude and nature... In Wales i love the south as again its quiet, has strong traditions and scenery, North Wales holds childhood memories, my dad was born in Bethesda near Bangor and we spent caravan holidays there as a child..... What about yours...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rake aboot 4,936 Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 Where to start My heart is in Scotland, the Lothians are stunning. Harris is amazing, truely beautifull., And the highlands never cease to impress. Drive the A87 Glen Sheil to Kyle of Lochalsh It will blow you away Drove a 1972 Lambretta to Ballycastle in Norn Iron last year and my god what a stunning place that is, Absolutey gorgeous. Norfolk is the same,, some of the best dog running land I`ve ever came across, and My missus and me love York and the whole area around it. As a kid, my parents used to take me to Mablethorpe !!!! the whole area around there seemed lovely to us at the time, Haven`t been near there for years Scotland. Yeh cannae beat it!

Simoman 110 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 I almost forgot the cotswolds, i stayed there a few years ago with a member here, stunning countryside, game everywhere and nice people, despite the fact he took some photos of ma and a sheep which looked suspicious and posted them here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
