This is a great view Mez although my first thought also involved Mumzy Mez. I followed Mez through a shortcut from her house to the highway to Manchester. We travelled these really tight roads with rock walls along much of the way. The views of the country side with garzing livestock and old homesites was brilliant!

I guess the view from the London Eye weren't too bad either!

The view from the aeroplane window when you're above the clouds. So blissful.

I don't know about that qualifying as a great "British view" Redash. I trust you're not disparaging the beauty of the Britsih Isles?

I'd admit that'd be the best view when flying over something like Newark, New Jersey

(sorry Billcat)

Thats the one beechy!!

We actually walked all the way down and all the way back up again!!!

It proved how un fit I was lol, I was shattered when I got back to the top.

It is A lovely view!! But I didn't enjoy walking down the steps, as the wall on either side isn't very high, and I am petrified of heights!!

I just clung onto the kids all the way down and back up!!

Apart from the views anywhere around Ullswater - my favourite view was from the back window of our old house on Cranbourne Drive -there was a space between the houses on Dill Hall Lane, over the allotments you could see right across to the horizon created by the hills -there is a massive oak tree up there which changes shape with the seasons (looks like a steam train with smoke in the summer and a witch on a broomstick in winter , or so i thought when i was little!). I think it's near where the Shepherd's Rest pub is....

Which view did win the "Britains Favour View" does any one know?

It sounds like you get homesick sometimes

I had an exhusband whose family lived in Ferrara - I miss my regular trips to Italy.

From the east gate of Fort Henry, on the glacis, overlooking the beginning of the St Lawrence River with the Thousand Islands; and if you look west, a beautiful view of Lake Ontario. Views great at sunset, and especially fantastic during a night thunderstorm when the lightning provides the illumination. Or on a motorcycle, riding on hwy. 60 thro Algonqin Park ... breathtaking!

Got it in one Margaret! Haven't been over to Accy for about 4 and a half years now -mum and dad sold up and moved to Tenerife when my sister emigrated to NZ. So i get summer hols in Tenerife now too (there isn't much green grass there!)- but you can't beat Accy on a rainy day in autumn, or bonfire night! My boys both visited Accy a lot when they were younger and when we get a cold day here in October with rain on the wind from the north-west they say it's just like England.
These days everyone seems to knock so much about England but there is a lot that is unique and easy to miss...read my post on "Eating with your fingers" to find out one!!

Just seen your post Eric -my husband was over in Canada last Nov. for the Winter Show in Toronto (Dairy cows!) and did a tour of a number of famous farms out there -he was absolutely blown away by the beauty of the scenery -didn't like the food much (typical Italian!) but said the people were very friendly and hospitable...

I think it was Ullswater. It was one of the lakes for sure.

Italians are like that about food ... but don't think that my buddy Mario Gencarelli would agree, he and is family have been in the restaurant business in Kingston for a couple of generations. It must have been the moose burgers, or the bannock, that put him off

And I have to agree that most Canadians are really friendly ... but watch out when they put on the skates, grab a stick, and catch sight of a puck
