Wow!  What a question, but not unexpected on a site like this.  My answer will be complicated, but walk with me a while.  In my Job there is a lot of jawing and a good many of the folks are well traveled, but not to places you would want to go. While I'm retired Air Force, I now work for them as a Civilian.  I will talk about the UK at any time and I am often asked what is my favorite place. The answer is pretty much the same as being asked what is it that I like so much about the UK.  Ths short answer is 10,000 tiny little things that I just cant quantify. I love the noise and bustle of London as much as a quiet night around Christmas and the smell of Coal smoke wafting thru my wifes Village. Scotch eggs, cadbury buttons and yes sideways rain and feezing fog. 

 The Cornish coast, the windmills of East Anglia, the Cotswolds (home! I feel more at home there than anywhere else..Thanks Mum), the Welsh mountains, the sculpture trail in the forrest of dean, the Isle of skye the barren highlands of Scotland, a foggy morning on the yorkshire moores where you cant see your feet but you can see 100 miles horizontaly. I get a kick just sitting on the other side of the hedge and listening to the children in the schoolyard, those tiny voices..with that accent!  a good Plowmans lunch, Cornish pasties!  Not a question easily answered.

easier to tell you what parts I dislike.....hmmmm The M-25!

Lynn G brought up another one!  Canal barges! working the locks and of course, the brits ALWAYS put a pub by each set of locks!

Airshows! only the Brits know how to put on a good airshow.  Talk to strangers, that elderly gent that struck up the conversation by the B-52 at Duxford can get you IN to the BoB memorial flight and let you touch the old birds. I ran my hand along the wing of that spit and got a chill, makes tears.
