What's the best county in the U.K.?

[PineappleSeahorse]

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?

Derbyshire, obviously. Closely followed by Cornwall.

The worst? Surrey, equally obviously.

I'm from the Merseyside /Lancashire border, DH is from the Gower & we've lived all over the UK, but it has to be Yorkshire. It's just beautiful, beaches, moors, history, big cities, tiny cathedral towns, fab market towns. Its quintessentially British.

Northumberland has it all, for me.

Best for what?

Mountains?

Beaches?

Pasties and Clotted Cream?

.....anyway, it's Dorset.

N Yorkshire followed by
Cumbria..Lakes area

North Yorkshire

Grew up there and didn’t realise until I lived in Greater London and Herts just how fab North Yorkshire really is. Given the opportunity (jobs!) we would move there in a heartbeat. Sighs

Can’t believe someone mentioned Blackpool as a selling point for their country...

StarJumps East Sussex?

Cheshire

@A1203 Sssssh, don't tell anyone

Well, your ruled out IOW and Dorset (two triangles without motorways) as they are clearly more than an hour away. Suffolk might be stretching it at an hour. There’s only East Sussex with no motorway and less than an hour, though you need a fair wind to Buck House in that timescale.

But yes East Sussex is beautiful.

Somerset.
ALL of it - North,South,East and West.

Especially Bridgwater....

Kent!

Garden of England, fabulous vineyards and hop Gardens, home of Canterbury Cathedral.

You can also enjoy day trips to France easily, great shopping at Bluewater and cna get to London fairly easily for West End trips

Yorkshire is close to paradise but only coz it borders Lancashire

Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and Pembrokeshire for me.

But as others have attacked it, I'm going to defend Surrey, which is not all boring commuter belt. It's the most leafy county in England, has lots of beautiful villages and National Trust land, and it's easy to get to London and to the coast.

Burlea that makes two of us. It’s lovely isn’t it?

Northumberland

Perthshire

Pembrokeshire

Down

Hands down, it's county Down.

Yorkshire

I used to feel sorry for anyone who didn't have the luck to be born there

Would say Cheshire but only West Cheshire. The other side is full of knob heads.

Antrim
