Your favourite place in the UK - hidden gems...
Discussion
It is often easy to forget what a beautiful place the British Isles is.
I love Lyme Regis because of it's charm and I like geology and palaeontology.
What are your favourite places, or "hidden gems"?
Post links and pics as well if you can.

Hardly a hidden gem but Stow In The Wold appears to be the world heritage home of the word 'pleasant'
Lovely and Burford for that matter.
What about Bourton-on-the-water?

Shell Island near Harlech (NW.Wales) is epic.
Is that the one just up a bit from the nudie beach? If its the place I'm thinking of, my missus cut the sole of her foot open on a rusty can there. Never heard the end of it!

Betswy Coed (sp?) and Snowdonia in general... Love that area...
I went there this summer. Its such a great area thats so different to the south east.
I used to go there for my hooning drives. The roads around Snowdonia are fantastic, and then go to Betsw y Coed for a bite to eat, and a wander down by the river. Good thing is the drive can take in Snowdonia, then off to Caenaerfon, then off to Conwy, and back to betsw y coed... Great days!! dick dastardly said:
I spent two days in Bigbury on Sea this summer, specifically Burgh Island and the place was beautiful.
Ah yes! Wasn't that the place where Agatha Christie went to write Evil Under the Sun or something similar?
Not been there for some years. Do they still have that "Motorised Portakbin on stilts" for transfers at high water?
For people watching i love Camden,there is so much to do around the markets and you come into contact with so many different types of people,you can also get lunch for a couple of quid.
Getting away from it all i sometimes drive down to the river itchen between Winchester and Eastleigh,park at a place called Allbrook and walk the river to Bishopstoke,if you wish you can carry on down to Southampton, www.hants.gov.uk/itchen/present/twy.html
Another place i love is the New Forest with all its history and cute little villages and walking routes,the first Royal Naval battleships were allegedly built there using the oaks from the forest,i keep meaning to go down there to trace where the D-Day landing force stayed on the lead up to the invasion.
