Llyn Llydaw view

Post by Gob »

The view from the top of Snowdon taking in a 'magical' lake has been named as the UK's best sight.

The landscape topped a poll of more than 2,500 people - beating the Three Sisters mountains in Scotland's Glencoe Valley, and Stonehenge in Wiltshire.

The panorama looks across from the 3,560ft (1,085m) peak to Llyn Llydaw.

It is one of the legendary locations reputedly linked to King Arthur, his sword Excalibur, and the Lady of the Lake.

According to phone-maker Samsung, who carried out the poll, rolling countryside was the most important factor of a quintessentially British view.

The top ten views were:
Snowdonia - view of Llyn Llydaw from the summit of Snowdon, Wales

Three Sisters mountains, Glencoe Valley, Scotland
Image

Stonehenge, Wiltshire, England
Image

St Ives Bay, Cornwall, England
Image

Cheddar Gorge, Somerset, England
Image

Loch Ness - view from Dores, Scottish Highlands, Scotland
Image

Buttermere, Lake District, England
Image

Westminster Bridge - view of the Palace of Westminster, London, England
Image

Giant's Causeway, County Antrim, Northern Ireland
Image

Loch Lomond - view from Conic Hill, Dunbartonshire, Scotland

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

I've been here:

The Scilly Islands south of Land's End.

Almost tropical.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.
