@SW-User Wells next the sea is a little gem. As is Blakeney Pount.

@sunriselover Yes, happy memories of camping and crabbing, with the children. I like all of the Norfolk coast really, but I'd already named too many places, for a post asking for a favourite 😆
@SW-User The roads can get very busy though on the Norfolk coast. Walsingham is nearby too. Worth adding in for the shrines, especially the Orthodox one at the disused railway station.

Well, I am a native and resident of the South Coast of England so I am biased.... The Devon and Dorset coast.

I don't think I have [i]a[/i] favourite place as such, but enjoy many areas. England - well, the British Isles generally - is extremely varied for a geographically compact area so almost everywhere has its gems both natural and man-made.

As well as the coast I like the inland scenery of those two counties, the Mendip, Cotswold and Pennine Hills, the Welsh / English border lands, and many other regions. While some recent trips to Eastern England provided me with a striking contrast, by being open plain.

I do love the Lake District, every so often, to go for walks there. I love visiting Stonehenge too, that gives me a weird peaceful feeling that is quite addictive.

Devon is lovely too.

Somerset- Wells and Bath --can't beat a good bath.
@Maturebate Especially if it is Roman, and surrounded by Regency housing.

Ingleton falls in Lancaster is my favorite place. It's like a six or seven mile nature walk. At the start there's a lovely cafe. The walkway is surrounded be streams and trees. Halfway through the walk there's a big waterfall. You can get in the water

@Mysterion619 Err, careful! :-)

Ingleton is in the county of North Yorkshire, not Lancashire - Yorkshire folk get upset if you go and put their towns in the wrong county!

Lancaster is the county town of Lancashire.

I do know the Waterfalls Walk, as it's called, though, and it is in a beautiful valley.

Maidstone, Kent, because of really old family connections in that area.
Oxford
It has beauty and class.
@sunriselover We have just been watching the complete "Lewis" series set in Oxford. Yes, some lovely buildings.
@pipedreams In contrast Cambridge is a snobbish dump. I lived near Cambridge as a boy, used to go round the record shops with a friend, visit the bookshops, and go to the theatre there. It was grimy and cold, full of the fenland mists, and Public School types who fancied themselves beyond.
@sunriselover Only been to Cambridge once or twice, for the footy!

Devon. And the Isle of wight

The lake district
SW-User
@V00doo Brilliant. That is eight miles from me. Old world cobbled streets. Quite an atmosphere. A good place for concerts, tea shops, and a small cinema, bookshops and an Art gallery.

London, although I haven't really been anywhere else in England.
travelguy01 · 41-45, M
Only been to London
SW-User
Chester, London because it's London, Stafford upon Avon
SW-User
@SW-User I think you mean Stratford. Stafford is a very dull place 😆
SW-User
@SW-User I did indeed, just a typo, I never even heard of stafford😅🤣😂
SW-User
@SW-User It's not worth a visit 🤣
