Your favourite county in England and Wales?

[gordondaviesmoustache]

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

That's six ;-)

north yorkshire, cumbria belting biking roads and beautiful unspoilt scenery to match..

I can't believe this is even a debate. Cumbria by a country mile. One of the most beautiful places in Europe, never mind Britain.

My home County of Lancashire has some gorgeous countryside The Trough Of Bowland for example.

However I love visiting Northumbria and Durham in particular which is possibly my favourite Cathedral city with York a very very close second.

 

[EalingBlue2]

probably with you on that one
but Derbyshire is up there too

I do love the Peaks , Lake District too

Herefordshire, its far away from the maddening crowd, home of some excellent real ales, and its only two and a half hours away from Manchester by train, to allow us City fans to see our team.

Extending the question to Scotland also, I would say Argyle and Bute, which includes the Isle of Mull. We holiday there every year, and would happily move there one day.

The Scottish countryside is either full of midges or pissing down and full of midges.

Cornwall. Though we always travelled 9pm - 3am to get there to avoid the annoying queues on the A30 or A38 .

 

[Wilf Wild 1937]

I like Cornwall but locally obviously Cheshire. There's a reason all the footballers live there.

Another shout out for Gwynedd. We have a caravan in Morfa Nefyn on the Llyn Peninsula. I went to Cornwall for years. I get the same landscape and beaches with a two hr drive instead of 5/6 hrs. Plus Snowdonia. Never had a problem with the Welsh either, granted they're all scum or red dippers.
