A hard one I live roughly the same distance from the Yorksire dales as I do from Northumberland and the Scottish borders . Then to top that the lake district is about the same distance . So spoilt for choice but if I had to pick Northumberland its wild rugged quiet roads and you can see for miles with FEW CARS a nice pub for a 1/2 and you can have coast or country next to each other with all that history and a castle dotted all over . God stopped after he made it, we had a picnic in a farmers field last year near Norham castle watching the birds follow the tractor so romantic and quiet and it was all ours.
