North Yorkshire countryside and coast
The Durham countryside and coast
Northumberland countryside and coast
The Lake District
Alfred Wainwright,his hand written guide books and his wonderful Coast to Coast Walk
Whitby
Robin Hoods's Bay
Holy Island
Our industrial heritage
Our history and how the British shaped the world
Ralph Vaughn Williams
Elgar
The Beatles
Gustav Holst (in fact most of our music,except brass bands)
Morecambe & Wise
Our rural heritage
Our maritime history
B&B's
Traditional pubs (not stupid themed pubs)
Traditonal grub
Fish & Chips (The Magpie in Whitby)
Whitby Abbey
Our contribution to world literature
Our contribution to world cinema
Our television (when we put our minds to it)
Radio (particularly Radio 2 and the Goons)
Our humour
Putting politics aside,but the Palace of Westminster must be the beautiful parliament building in the world
The boys and girls in World War II who preserved our freedom and the boys and girls before and since who fought for us in the theatres of war (whether or not we agree with the war,our thoughts should always be with them)
Pride of seeing our veterans on Remembrance Sunday
The myths and legends of Britain

Captain Cook's Monument and Roseberry Topping (two local beauty spots)
Our villages
Our eccentricity
Sir Winston Churchill (our greatest Briton and greatest ever Prime Minister)
Our stately homes and castles (Castle Howard comes to mind)
Our country lanes
Our country walks

Our hills maybe molehills to elsewhere in the world,our mountains are maybe not the gargantuans of Alps,the Andes,the Rockies,the Himalayas,our lakes maybe puddles compared to the Great Lakes,but for a small island we have given so much to the world and as Napolean found out in 1805 and 1815,Hitler in 1940 - you can't beat it.

Great to come back to cool Britannia, after a fortnight in a hot, dry country.

Great to see green, green grass.

I never tire of Whitby and RHB. I like the journey to them from Teesside,along the Moors road between Guisborough and Whitby. Then there is the other route from Pickering,past the Hole Of Horcum and the descent into Sleights.
