All of which are a long way off. Whereas I can get in my car and be in spectacular scenery in a few hours drive.

The Pennines are nice. But not spectacular.
If you drive the A82 from Tyndrum across Rannoch Moor and down Glen Coe to Ballachulish, then you are still not happy then I'll concede your point :p

Yes but Mark we're talking about the most beautiful and not the most convenient!

My pictures are from a P&S. I wish I had an SLR handy when I go to Mexico. That place covers everything from isolating deserts, lush forests, beautiful beaches, and quaint little towns. I love going down there for some R and R.

Unlikely to happen though, I'd need at least 2 tanks of petrol and about £85 just to get there :D Therefore I'm right :p :

I've got better scenery about 500 metres around the corner to be honest......

This depends by what how one defines beauty. Parts of Switzerland are very beautiful, for example, but personally I find those areas a little twee.

At this time of year NE USA and Eastern Canada are spectacular with the fall colours. Until you have seen the brilliant reds of the maples and bright yellows and every thing in between you won't believe your eyes.

ireland has the best drink and the best rain hahaha
