10 Best Views In England
These are the 10 best views in England that we know of. There may well be better ones, but these are our personal favourite views.
Waterloo Sunset
The Kinks sang about Waterloo Sunsets and it was probably the only decent song written about London in the last century. The best thing is that you can experience those sunsets yourself and they really are worth the walk to the south side of the river. Walk across Waterloo on the downstream side and about three quarters of the way across the whole vista of London is spread before you. The sun will set behind you, bathing the city in a wonderful glow.
London from the Hill
Head up to Primrose Hill, north of Regent's Park and sit with a blanket on a sunny afternoon, enjoying the finest panorama of London.
Tintagel
Down on the north coast of Cornwall is the wonderful island fortress of Tintagel. Morning sun is when the view from the mainland is at its best. Enjoy the view from around to the north where you can also see the caves down on the beach.
Box Hill
Gentle rolling woodland and chalk downland in Tadworth, Surrey. The Box hill countryside park is owned by the National Trust who look after it and keep the views looking amazing.
Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland
Iconic seaside castle ruin has a silhouette that is heartstoppingly beautiful.
Hadrian's Wall
The wall around the Housesteads Fort area in Northumberland is amazingly picturesque.
The Royal Crescent, Bath
A stunning city in England's south East and this is the best street of the lot.
Cat Gill
The lake district is full of amazing views, and perhaps none is finer than the view from the top of Cat Gill looking west onto Derwent water. Although, striding edge nearby is thought by many to be its equal.
Hay Tor, Dartmoor
The view from the rock at the top of Hay Tor is in my opinion the finest view in Devon.
Malvern Hills
The view north from the 'british camp' area is of a string of lovely hills.
You will need somewhere to stay, so here is a link to Laterooms who offer excellent deals on 4 and 5 star hotels in England.
Hope you enjoy the views as much as we have.
