Your three favourite places in the world

London where I’ve always lived, Gibraltar, Saundersfoot, West Wales.

Ma ain fireside!
Seriously, I've been lucky enough to have visited many beautiful places but the place I like best is home.

Aberfan, South Wales. New Quay, West Wales.
Snowdonia, North Wales

There are so many wonderful places to visit however if I had to list my most favourite it would be one of the small islands in the Maldives where I can snorkel to my hearts content.
Sheer paradise.

As a tourist with the offering of amazing history I would say China and the people are so friendly and welcoming.

Watamu in Kenya
From our accommodation we could walk directly onto the beach which felt like walking on flour.

I haven't visited many places in the World. I think that Slovenia is top of those places I've been to, Lake Bled in particular.
Sorrento where we honeymooned.
Loch Lomond.

I would love to stand on the Steppes of central Asia, but I don't suppose I ever will.

Dartmoor, New York and London

Caldey Island, Venice, St Michaels Mount.

Birmingham, Venice, The Lake District

Aix en Provence
Venice
Prague

I live at Loch Lomondminimoon and its one of my favourite places with Luss where we were married top of the list .Ireland is next,anywhere in Ireland .I've been all round and across it many times ,Youghal in County Cork is very special as is Letterkenny in County Donegal.Last is Croatia ,I love the Istrian Peninsula but Zagreb is a fab city with lots of lovely small towns within easy reach.

I have a lot more than three!

Rome, Lake Garda and North Norfolk

What KatyK said! I couldn’t even decide on my three favourite countries.

I'm visiting Loch Lomond in a couple of weeks time paddyann. "Turkey and Tinsel in the Trossachs" with a local coach your company. Can't wait!

For me it's not so much particular favourite places as what was happening in my life at the time I was there that makes them memorable and special. It's just the right confluence of circumstances such as the weather, the magic of light and sunsets, natural and manmade beauty, who you are with, maybe a time and location specific joke or funny event, sounds including water, birdsong or evocative music and your own mood at that moment in time. And often for me it is just being able to see to the far horizon with no trace of human occupation visible.

MiniMoon, your mention of visiting Loch Lomond reminded me of a location joke. We were driving along the road beside Loch Lomond wondering why it was so famous when so many other lochs were just as beautiful.

We decided it was all in the name as singing "I'll be in Loch Snizort afore ye" just didn't quite have the same ring about it. Decades later my friend and I still laugh about how we were laughing so much that I nearly drove us into the loch. ?
PS. Have a great trip to the Loch.

...it is hard to narrow it down to 3..I also have many more places that I love..but the ones that I chose are the 'close my eyes, pretend I'm there places' when I'm stressed/anxious....
