Two that I would add to the list are seeing St Michaels Mount from Marazion, and the 360 view from Lands End at the tip of Cornwall (though it has turned into a big time tourist trap).

Is it? You get a great view of the rest of the Minster, but beyond that's, it's just a flat city scape. Finding it a bit meh, and I lived for years down there.

The view from the top of Sutton Bank!

Definitely no shortage of "flat" around here!

I'm stuck in the middle of thousands of square miles of flat land.....99% of which is boring as hell. I find the flat lands of England very pleasant areas to be in. The Somerset levels and Norfolk are especially pleasing to the eye and you never have to travel far to find a hill.

I do appreciate flat land now - places like Wicken Fen and the North Norfolk coast are beautiful (although I do prefer the Dutch landscape to the industrial farming views of Cambridgeshire fenland, but that's mostly down to different histories).

What bothers me about my current location is that I'm about 2h from the coast. Which, on a small island, is far too far.

This is Flyertalk folks! The best view is on approach to Heathrow over London or Windsor on a clear winter's day.
