Mine is Glencoe and surrounding area in the Highlands of Scotland. It is the opposite of where I live in London. It is peaceful, tranquil, has majestic scenery and no air pollution and above all it is QUIET.

walberswick, suffolk. its simply fab.

Cotswolds - for sentimental reasons, but also because it is so English. Also really like mid-Anglia, which is my adopted homeland.
