Heaven in the UK

We put the following question to users of Twitter today: “What’s your idea of heaven when travelling in the UK?”. Ignoring the only negative response from @Madamejojo’s which was “travelling out of it!”, here are just some of the suggestions that came back…

• My idea of heaven when travelling in the UK is to have someone else DRIVE! Love doing UK by auto and seeing as much as possible! (@kimijtoo)
• The countryside in Kent. Orchards and gardens, light, landscape, architecture. Rapturous. (@asiantees)
• single track roads, smell of honeysuckle coming in through open windows, spotting hares and red kites as you drive along (@HoptonHouseBnB)
• bumping into the extraordinary that I never knew existed – The Quiraing on Skye, Mining Landscape in Cornwall/West Devon (@picturetheuk)
• a martini made by Antonio while relaxing at the Egerton House lounge! HEAVEN in the UK! (@seattleSuze)
• Fisn & chips with lashings of vinegar and onion sauce, Marmite, Branston pickle and Cider – Thats my UK heaven (@Gtahotels)
• long sweeping and EMPTY roads! Thinking St Ives to St Just via Zennor, Machynlleth along Dovey estuary to Aberdovey… (@markgj)
• Walker’s Hill above the Vale of Pewsey. (@Bluejay12345)
• Sitting at the top of Gold Hill in Shaftesbury and the Salt Cellear, drinking Tea, eating chocolate cake. Reading the Sunday Times (@jonathanwthomas)
• proper bacon and a pint of beer – things we miss in France (@letastingroom)

So… what’s YOUR idea of heaven when travelling in the UK?  Please tell us by posting a comment.
