Now my wife has 12 places to visit in the UK once she gets her non-eu spouse visa next millennium.
She doesn't believe they exist looking at those photos ( or that we could have waters that colour or beaches without stones)!
:thumbup:

Beautiful places:thumbsup:

The right to roam/public footpaths/National Trust/Forestry Commission land etc etc - easy access to great walks on my doorstep - even in towns if you look.
