Conwy Falls

Plummeting 15m into a cavernous pool, Conwy Falls in the heart of Snowdonia National Park has long been a popular site for visitors. The surrounding woodlands are imbued with magic and wildlife, including polecats and a wide variety of fascinating birdlife.

The Conwy itself is a salmon river and the enchanting gorge of Fairy Glenn is just a short distance away.

Second place: Lundy

Lovely Lundy, off the coast of Devon in the Bristol channel, just beat the Lake District in a close contest for second place. This small beautiful island provides a haven for wildlife and has the UK’s only marine reserve, making it a very special place indeed.
