I was just going to say Northumberland henetha. Those who live there or know it will know how beautiful it is. I had no idea. The beach at Bamburgh. All those lovely seaside towns along the coast. Lindisfarne. Wonderful.

Back in my camper van days I was delighted to find that Britain has many beautiful places and it was wonderful to find them unexpectedly. One was Essex, it doesn't always have a good press but there are parts which are really lovely. I think the coast of Northumberland was one of my favourites, and parts of mid-Wales which are less known than the Brecon Beacons or Snowdonia. As for Scotland, almost every part of it is simply stunning.
Britain is absolutely beautiful.

Ah, “As pretty as the Cotswolds and not as crowded “

Tourist ad for Lincolnshire.

For me it’s been Leicestershire. I thought it was industrial ??

Escape to the Country yesterday was set in Lincolnshire. I had no idea how beautiful it is with such pretty villages, elegant towns and glorious beaches. We see so little of it on TV. Lovely as they are, Yorkshire, Cornwall and the Lake District seem to get all the attention. I wonder if there are other less talked about places which you've discovered and fallen in love with?
