I'm tempted to say Devon but there's so many wonderful places out there and so many I haven't visited. I love Yorkshire too. What's your nomination?

We just need a Lancashire now to complete the trilogy. Grin

I've decided I'm sticking with Devon but Yorkshire is a close second.

Northumberland. Without doubt.

Yorkshire

I live in Yorkshire and love it here, but Northumberland wins for me.

MrsArabin · 16/07/2019 15:49

I agree with growlingbear and ThomasHardy.

Northumberland - no question at all.

DareDevil223 · 16/07/2019 15:55

What's special about Northumberland? Genuine question. I haven't been lucky enough to visit there but I'd love to.

Galloway! Not a county as it's in Scotland, but definitely UK so hope that counts Smile

@Pineappleseahorse the beaches, the castles, the people, and the Alnwick railway bookshop. Glorious.

But I'm still voting Yorkshire
