I live in the SW and Devon and Cornwall are just stunning. What places in the UK take your breath away? Looking for holiday inspiration!

the scenery around ullapool in scotland is absolutely gorgeous. If you go in summer, you are able to get a ferry from the port there to the summer islands, where you can see dolphins and porpoises x

Coastal Northumberland is beautiful. Nice and quiet compared to Cornwall and Devon in school holidays. Beautiful wide stretches of beaches and curving bays, dotted with grand castles like Bamburgh and ruins like Dunstanburgh. Not to mention Lindisfarne and Holy Island. Just oodles to do in that region and totally beautiful.

I think we're really lucky in the UK, there are loads of places. I've loved Snowdonia, Pembrokeshire, the north coast of NI, the Peak District, the Lake District and the Norfolk Coast. There are loads more but we were especially lucky with the weather in those places and they looked stunning.

In Scotland you are never far from unspoilt scenery, it would be great for a driving holiday but I've never plucked up the courage. I love Yorkshire and the Lake District too.

Not technically the UK but pretty much all of the Isle of Man is stunning

Scilly Isles and the Lake District.

Like you OP we live in SW so are very lucky to have amazing landscapes on our doorstep

I just love Scotland, the lake district is nice but Scotland is breathtakingly beautiful. We'd like to see more of it and love to live there one day.

London. Every single time. I live in NY now and it will never take my breath away in the same way.

Second drive through Glencoe, and Isle of Man. Huge variety of scenery in a small place on IoM.

Another Northumberland coast fan. Closely followed west coast of Scotland.

For atmospheric as opposed to pure landscape Studley Royal Park & Fountains Abbey. I'm not religious but it has a lovely feel especially when quiet in winter.

Agree re Northumberland. Also Dartmoor.

The old cathedrals, especially Durham, just thinking about how the effort and craftsmanship that went into building by hand.
