Blackhead lighthouse - Carrickfergus
Number 7
I’ve been to both of those.
The crystal clear waters of the chalk stream with trout, and amazing walled garden at Mottisfont.
Sutherland is so beautiful, far from the madding crowd.

Arundel Cricket Ground and the view through the gap in the trees over Amberley, simply stunning.

B.C is stunning, loved my time in Squarmish, Whistler and Richmond. Just watched Virgin River on Netflix, based in California but they used B.C for the filming locations.
As B.C is chosen, I'll go with Chamonix, my old home. The Lac Blanc. It's a bit of a hike to get to, so tends to be quiet. Truly stunning.

Much as I love many spots around Sussex, I have always had a soft spot for a Mediterranean beach, flanked by pine trees, with maybe a small beach bar (and the good thing is, they aren't hard to find). They are all around the thousands of miles of coastline across many countries.
I even found a few on Ibiza (albeit 35+ years ago)

I used to get an amazing one in the join from ear to head behind my ear lobe. I could really enjoy it because no one could see it but i knew, put some effort into poking the bugger for a few days, and I'd get a volvano to play with when the time arrived. Probably the best tasting one as well

Fairlight Beach. Getting to it is akin to Leonardo Di Caprio’s journey to find ‘The Beach’ but once you get there it’s worth it, lots of naked nubile bodies, plus a fair amount of ageing meat and two veg on show. Marvellous.

The Palouse region of eastern Washington (where I went to grad school). It’s impossible to capture the scale and vastness of the region. Those windmills in the background are probably 60-70 miles away and each one of those “hills” are half a mile tall. It’s the most efficient soil in the world for growing wheat and very common region for desktop background pictures. I so wish a picture could capture it.
WSU, eh?
I had to do the drive from Spokane to Pullman a couple of times and, yes, that's an incredible landscape. Went to lunch near the bear research centre just as they were let out for exercise ... boy them f******s move fast.

At the risk of sounding slightly snobby ( I’m not but I do like a bit of luxury ) La Plage du Martinez is one of my favourite spots . It’s a private beach on Cannes croisette, which is run by the Martinez hotel . Lovely comfortable loungers to lie on , beautiful beach restaurant with lovely food . Waiters will bring chilled rose / champagne or freshly squeezed orange juice to your lounger . You can sit and have lunch at the beach restaurant or eat it at your lounger. They can also arrange some water sports for you . Not cheap , a day on the beach for two with a few drinks , lunch and sun lounger hire will set you back about 250 euros but so worth it .
Great for celebrity spotting ! Leo di caprio, Kate moss , Kate Hudson , Cesc fabregas, rob lowe, yasmin le Bon etc all regulars .
Grab the front row loungers if you can !

Yep! Used to love taking my friends out to see the bears when they’d visit out there on the back way to the little airport between Pullman and Moscow. It’s funny, when most people think of Washington they assume it is all evergreens like over on the Seattle side. Very different in eastern WA. Area gives a new definition to “middle of nowhere” as the city limit stops and then there’s nothing for a long while. Loved it!
Had a few classes at UI over in Moscow and got an email alert one day with this on it..

A second vote for Lorne, but once there you also have to head inland into the Otways - my favourite place to go running.
The walk to the lighthouse in Byron Bay, most easterly point on the Australian mainland. Mount Warning in the distance, whales, dolphins, the occasional shark in the bay, brush turkeys, big lizards and once or twice a reclusive wallaby in the rain forest. Love that place so much. Sadly doesn't look like I'll be seeing it again for a while
Been there, and done that, very nice it is too. I'm forever grateful for where I live. beach, river, rolling hills all within a one mile radius of home. we have plenty of wildlife too, especially in Southwick
Another favourite place, and not just for cars is Belgium. . . .

Nice, I have got plans to walk/abseil down the river to Lorne.
The view from this house is quite breathtaking:-
