[pbirkett]

OK, so we've got a "dodgy" area thread going, but what about the good bits? Surely everywheres got good bits going for it, hasn't it?

OK, I'll kick things off...

Whereabouts is the seafront in Surrey?

[Shay HTFC]

Quite a good thread idea after all the "UK is st" ones

Scammonden reservoir in the hills above Halifax. The M62 goes over the dam for this




Canal basin at Salterhebble a mile out of the town centre




Shibden Hall about half a mile up the hill from the town centre




The Piece Hall in the centre of town. If this was in London it would be a national landmark without a doubt. This photo only captures one side of an impressive square




The town hall. Done by the same bloke who did the Houses of Parliament





Calderdale. Halifax is down that valley somewhere

No other reason required

5 minutes from Castle Combe



which also has

[whirligig]

I have it pretty good I reckon - Loch Lomond near by, Glen Fruin road for a hoon or up the A82 to Fort William (Glasgow nearish if we want to go shopping but far enough away not to be affected by the bad bits)

[Mannginger]

Surrey > Essex...

[GreenDog]

I agree with the OP - but then I do live just out of shot of his Saltwell park picture

This bit:

[anonymous-user]

After all the pasting i have given donny recently, it has one or two good points, such as its right on the a1/m18 corridor, is about 15mins from the m1, and i can be in the peak district within 1 hour!

[Poledriver]

Must put reading glasses on next time. could have sworn that said "What's the best bits about your ARSE"!

Brilliant thread BTW, but it's not worth me putting up the concrete cows!

[B17NNS]

Probably my cheeks I would say.

[robwales]

Best bits about mine:
- Low population
- Great views
- Low traffic
- Fantastic roads on the doorstep
- Peace and quietness
- Open countryside
- Close to the coast and the mountains
- Minimal council/authorities interference in life
