"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.

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.


Ingleborough seems popular, looks bleak but also great in Winter.

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.



me.

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

I wonder what happened to the start of this thread ?

The bit of coast between Portland and Lyme Regis from the top of Golden Cap in Dorset is pretty cool.

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.

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.

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.

The Highlands are defintely among the best of Britain. Awesome.

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.

Good grief! Hello stranger! Where have you been?!

[stevie]

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.
