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?

@campion I still do.

9 years and counting till I can move back.

Undoubtedly Cornwall

Antrim and Devon.

Any in Scotland

How interesting that pretty much all of the Home Counties where so many people live don't really get a mention! How about Berkshire, Northamptonshire, Bucks etc or are we just thinking mostly holiday destinations? I mean Cornwall is nice enough but I bet it's hard to make a decent living there.

Shropshire!

Cornwall and Devon, while lovely, are where people go to die. We moved to Northumberland because we wanted to live.

If going strictly by county I’d say Cornwall or Northumberland but the west coast of Scotland heading up to Skye can’t be beaten for me.

@isitwhatitis they split the county of Yorkshire into tidings because it was too big to govern. It's people know we are one people

@isitwhatitis no. It is split into north, west and South Yorkshire or east, west and south riding. East Yorkshire is the Humber which doesn't county

@Theghosttrain n Yorkshire is so big you barely see a tourist when living there

OhamIreally I had to reassess slightly when DS2 was born in the Midlands
I didn't want him feeling too sad. But he tells me he wished he had been born in Yorkshire so maybe I didn't hide it very well.

I'm still in the Midlands still feeling exiled after many years; he's now the wrong side of the Pennines but can access God's Own County when he wants to.

The problem with the Home Counties (and I live here) is that they all blur in to one with no real identity. I’m at a crossroads between three and they’re all similar. Not a patch on Yorkshire..! ( I’d move back apart from job and friends).

Lancashire, of course.
Yorkshire is just there to keep the bad weather from us.

At the age of 10 I was dragged across the pennines by missionary parents intent on bringing civilisation to Lancashire.

I can assure you the bad weather is not in Yorkshire.

My evidence for this is

a) my paternal grand parents visited many times and the only time it didn't rain was when it snowed.

b) the historical fact, Yorkshire mills spun and wove wool, Lancashire mills spun and wove cotton. This is because cotton is better processed in a wet climate.

The inferiority of Lancashire has even been sung about.

Devon is depressing!

Dorset is much nicer than Devon.

But isn't Yorkshire cold?

But isn't Yorkshire cold?

Nope, it's heated by the warm hearts of the Yorkshire people

Carmarthenshire

Cheshire, although Shropshire and Suffolk are lovely too.

Cornwall to visit.
But I like where I live on the south coast.

Cornwall and Devon, while lovely, are where people go to die. We moved to Northumberland because we wanted to live.

Those are fighting words! And I'm sure Northumberland is lovely(And I just remembered that I've visited Berwick) but I imagine it to have a nice,quiet relaxed feel too. Little different from Devon in that respect. It too seems like a place people would retire too.

To sorry. Nothing wrong with that though. I love peace and quiet.

User10fuckingmillion a couple more coming forward. I live mid Cheshire just perfect.

Yorkshire for sure. I grew up in Berkshire but live in Yorkshire and it has my heart.
