Re: Britain's Favourite View.
"Also, anyone else got any suggestions or a particular favourite view from around the British Isles ? "
Looking from the top of Ingleborough (a not very high mountain in the Yorkshire Dales) on a clear day. You can see for miles. Fantastic and worth the effort of getting to the top.

It's nice to be liked,
But it's better by far to get paid.

Here's one for you, bit of a cheat though.
Ben Nevis and surrounding, snow capped area from 20,000 feet up on a clear day.
I was in a plane, before you ask
Or the ocast of North Berwick, well known beach and the view acroos the sea to the weird looking island is astonishing, especially in the height of summer.

Yeah it don't really qualify but it sounds stunning. Views from off the top of Ben Nevis on a clear day are lovely and panoramic. Come back down a little bit to the top of the zig-zags and stop for a bite to eat and a drink there, that's great if it's fairly clear.BzaInSpace wrote:Here's one for you, bit of a cheat though.

Ingleborough seems popular, looks bleak but also great in Winter.
What more can the heart of a man desire?

leyton, far east end of london.
7am - watching the chemist spill a sack of pills into the street.
ahhh jiggy, what a view that was.
but honestly best view i had was at Ravenscrag in the lake district. absolutely beautiful.
or maybe the view from atop Sterling Castle in Scotland, that was amazing.

Keeley Hazell in the sun newspaper every week. You can keep your countryside and urban developments, thats the view for me.

As long as I gaze on Waterloo sunset, I am in paradise.
Re: Britain's Favourite View.
The bit of coast between Portland and Lyme Regis from the top of Golden Cap in Dorset is pretty cool.
Re: Britain's Favourite View.
For me, its gotta be Wales. Can't think of one view in particular, as there are justy so many viewpoints and vistas all over the country. Except for Port Talbot, that is. Thats prbably the worst sight I have ever seen. (apologies to anyone who lives there, but I bet you can see my point.
I'm not Welsh, but I used to live there and now I am still drawn to the place and we visit regularly.
The other view that stirs me spiritually is to stand up by Worthy farmhouse and look down across the valley to the Pyramid stage.

Re: Britain's Favourite View.
I've always enjoyed travelling around Wales during Autumn and Winter and that's mainly because those are the months i prefer to go walking/hiking. Around Cadir Idris during sunset is very nice.davey wrote:For me, its gotta be Wales. Can't think of one view in particular, as there are justy so many viewpoints and vistas all over the country.
Or alternatively the view across the festival site from the stones as it's getting close to dawn after watching a hot Spiritualized set a few hours earlier and then spending a crazy chilled-out night playing the bongos up at the stones.davey wrote:The other view that stirs me spiritually is to stand up by Worthy farmhouse and look down across the valley to the Pyramid stage.

The Highlands are defintely among the best of Britain. Awesome.
Re: Britain's Favourite View.
There's more than just edinburgh to go to for a fine view but if I was to just keep it to a city centre you can't do any better than these and I've been to most of britains bigger cities so I'm well placed to have the final say I think...
Arthur seat, Calton Hill, The Castle, The Scott Monument, Looking up (for tinsel town) or down (for the dark, sinister view) the Royal Mile from the Canonsgate pub while tripping.

Re: Britain's Favourite View.
I've been moving to Australia and since I got here about 19 months ago I've not been arsed to get internet in the house so it's been occasional trips to internet cafe's but early in the new year I should be hooked up again and more sociable.
