Where is the single most beautiful place you have been?

You are right about the British countryside.
I reckon if you hit Harris on the right day you would be pushed to find anywhere more stunning.
Mind you Chesterman Beach, Tofino is pretty special too.
Snorkelling the Barrier Reef was very memorable.

The isle of Lewis and Harris is indeed stunning. I was there 5 or years ago working. Stayed in Tarbert. It's quaint harbour and castle reminded me of Cornwall. Also stayed in Stornaway and one or two other places i cannot recollect. I was there about 3 weeks in total, loved it. Was rugged cold and windy in January/ February but I'd like to revisit in summer.

I have fond memories of Scotland and it's Islands and Highlands. I enjoyed being there.

Worked on the main Orkney Island 4 times and stayed at Castlehill, a 4* rated guest house in Evie. Denise is a lovely accommodating lady and great cook. She looked after me and two workmates and i highly recommend staying there. Sat in the hot tub drinking beer whilst enjoying scenery of the Rouse and nearby islands, so serene.

The Rouse is where the North sea meets the Atlantic and when the tides are running together. (between 25 to 30 knots I'm told) it's a spectacular sight to watch the boils and swirls of broken white water.

Nice one mate. Where to start with Scotland really. You are never far from somewhere spectacular wherever you go.
Wester Ross is like another world.

20 minutes drive can get me here.............or here

There are some advantages being Scottish. ;-)

Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove
Click to expand...

I am fortunate to live down there and one of my favourite running routes is starting at Lulworth Cove, running over to Durdle and then carrying on along the South West Coast Path. Proper challenging Hills but some fantastic views to enjoy.
 
I would say nearly all of the Highlands and islands of Scotland, Assynt, Torridon, Lewis and Harris especially. The Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, The White Peak, Pembrokeshire, North Cornish Coast. Northern Ireland Coast line. The Ionian Islands in Greece, Cape Province and Cape Town, British Columbia. South East Thailand. Sumatra. Not seen much of Italy its on our list, but it also looks amazing.
