Charles Kennedy has put together a fantastic case to win.
I was initially seduced by Des Lynham and his Seven Sisters cliffs in Sussex. But, hey, they are chocolate-boxey and sentimental. They are falling apart anyway.
Hadrian's Wall? Come off it. A couple of thousand years old.

No. When you look around this kingdom of ours, there is only one choice to go for. The vast, hugely dominating, awesome Scottish highlands, as exemplified wonderfully by the Cuillins.

Skye isn't far away! Get the sleeper to Fort William, then take one of the Great Train Journeys of the World from Fort William to Mallaig (stop off for some huge prawns just landed), and thence a short ferry hop over to Armadale on Skye. you can do it all year, although admittedly, the train frequency from Fort William isn't great in the winter months.
