Gwynedd, the Welsh have done a very good job of convincing much of the English riffraff they need go no further than Abergele, thank god.

surely that doesn't include Reddish!
Is that Reddish, Stockport. Stockport was always Cheshire, so nope, it doesn't include Reddish!

When I was about 16 I had a summer job checking addresses at a mail order place. At the time they were still using old Scottish county names rather than regions. The one that stuck in my mind was Kirkcudbrightshire. Haven't a clue where it is.
Raith Rovers. Aren't they from Kircudbrightshire? Still, doesn't tell WTF it is, though!

Cumbria by a million billion light years. Don't get me wrong - there's a lot of beauty all over England and Wales, but Cumbria contains the entirety of The Lake District plus a huge number of areas of outstanding natural beauty. Put bluntly, nowhere can compete with that.

OK I think we should be allowed a top 5. So mine in no particular order would be Gwynedd, Derbyshire, Cumbria, Devon, Dumfries-and-Galloway

Raith Rovers play in the town of Kirkaldy, Fife, the town is famous for it's linoleum factory, Nairns. My first wife was from the town, having visited on a few occasions it became clear to me why she was so miserable, it wasn't just being married to me, it was due to growing up in such a depressing town.
