Bourton On The Water - in the winter, when there aren't coachloads of grannies and tourists around.
I spent some wonderful holidays in the area when I was a kid... and have returned with the wife, and subsequent kids on several occasions. But it's so much nicer in November or February when there aren't hordes of punters about.
It's lovely
That's my footage too
Taught my then-girlfriend to play chess in a pub in Keswick - was so busy teaching her I didn't notice she when she won...
Tower of London holds some special memories and I love the place.
I used to visit the California area of Norfolk loads with my grandparents as a kid. I have great memories of the area but haven’t been back for 30 years.
I can't help about the shape I'm in, I can't sing I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer that you want me to

Any where in Dartmoor really. It's the only place where I'm perfectly happy. Clear headed and peacefull.
Lake District, especially around Hawkshead
North East coast - particularly Holy Island
Pembrokeshire - coastal path on a bike was great
Giants Causeway
Coastal pathway around the north of Jersey
I think I only miss being near the proper sea - a move out towards Swansea would suit me down to the ground.
My feedback thread is here.
But this summer during lockdown I was furloughed, had no need to drive anywhere, and was working on music a lot. The weather was great so I did a lot of walking as a way to clear my head & give musical ideas a chance to sort themselves out if I hit a wall.
There's a place on the Waseley Hills from which you can see the whole of Birmingham on one side (and it's actually a very green city), and on the other you can see the Maverns to the south and right across to the Shropshire hills and the Welsh border to the West. I love it, especially at sunset because the light gives the whole landscape this incredible sense of majesty and scale. I've sat up there just watching the way the light changes the landscape.
It'll change in time, but right now that's my place.

There are some beaches off the beaten track in Northumberland that are stunning.
The Malverns are part of my patch at work so, pre covid, I was driving through maybe once a month. They do have that sense of otherness, like you've arrived in a different country or at least seem a long way away from life in the West Midlands. I've got a visit there next week, the family live down a tiny road in a house almost at the top of one of the hills overlooking miles and miles and miles of Worcestershire.
