Choose Britain's Favourite View

New ITV1 series seeks best view in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Will it be the Lake District, Stonehenge, Edinburgh, Hadrian's Wall or even Blackpool

A major new TV series in Britain being broadcast over the summer of 2007 on ITV1 attempts to find Britain's Favourite View. From John o'Groats to Land's End, from the Giant's Causeway to the Isle of Skye and from the Wuthering Heights of Top Withens to the Gower Peninsula near Swansea, what will be chosen as the very best British landscape?

Maybe it might even be a cityscape, as some of the best views in Britain are right in the middle of our big cities. Some of the suggestions include Waterloo Bridge in London, the Newcastle skyline, Blackpool with its tower, Belfast, Edinburgh and the Liverpool waterfront.

Various celebrities have been invited to nominate their personal favourite view, and they will of course appear in the TV series. These include Rory Bremner, who chooses Edinburgh, Vic Reeves who goes for Stonehenge and Lesley Garrett who nominates Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales.

A special website has been set up on which you can browse through all the celebrity choices plus another 45 ideas of what might be Britain's favourite view. You can also enter a prize draw competition to win a luxury weekend break for two in the Yorkshire Dales, along with a Virgin Balloon Flight high above the landscape. You can order a special map, too, which shows 43 of the locations. And you can also browse the suggestions by region or by theme, so even if you don't watch the ITV1 series, you can still use the website to inspire your own vacation ideas.
