Places to visit in the UK that will let you appreciate the British countryside

Great Britain's landscape has a rugged beauty to it, captured and so accurately brought to life by some of the country's most famous writers and poets. The windswept moors of Wuthering Heights or the farmlands of Thomas Hardy's novels are evoked in such great details and yet imagery of the British landscape is often overlooked by travellers in favour of more exotic climes.

We've had a dig around however to capture some of the beauty of Britain's landscapes from north to south.

Britain is a country steeped in history which emerges in the landscape when you travel

Nature has an ancient feel to it that's almost otherworldly...

And there is a stillness to the wilderness that can be oddly calming, such as the mountains of Snowdonia in Wales.

Places like the Cheddar Gorge show off the drama of the countryside...

While villages like Straithes in Yorkshire show how we fit into our natural surroundings.

The coast of the UK can have its charm however...

With the south coast around Cornwall even having a riviera feel to it

-

Although neighbouring Devon doesn't look too bad either...

The array of colours visible in Britain is something that is not to be missed....

Especially if you visit in autumn.

Basically, the UK is pretty stunning really

Wherever you look.

Now all you need to do is plan a roadtrip!
