... when, as our summer quiz shows, you really can’t tell foreign beauty spots from those here in Britain
-
Mystery vista: It seems that two dramatically sweeping bays can be very similar, even when one is St-Cast-Le-Guildo, France, and the other is Blackpool Sands near Dartmouth
A familiar echo: Two caves on golden beaches facing the Atlantic breakers. But which one is at Holywell Bay near Newquay, and which is in the Algarve at Praia do Vau? 3: THE ALGARVE OR NEWQUAY?
7: GALAPAGOS ISLANDS OR TEIGNMOUTH? Take it as red: These flamboyantly fiery cliffs are thousands of miles apart. One is Ness Cove, Shaldon, near Teignmouth, the other is a World Heritage site in the far Pacific Ocean
Pastel perfection: Positano on the Amalfi Coast has few equals in Italianate architecture, but Portmeirion in North Wales runs it a close second. Or is it the other way around? 1: ITALY OR NORTH WALES?
5: LONG ISLAND OR SUSSEX? Rockers’ retreat: Keith Richards has a home at West Wittering near Chichester. Moptop Paul McCartney chills out in the Hamptons near Sag Harbor. So, Beatles v Stones, anyone?
2: NEW ZEALAND OR CORNWALL? The riddle of the sands: Is there really a world of difference between Apple Tree Bay Beach on South Island and the beaches and coves of West Cornwall? The choice is yours . . .
Setting the scene: What could be more Mediterranean than an open-air amphiteatre like the one at Antiphellos? Unless, of course, it’s the Minack Theatre at Porthcurno 6: TURKEY OR LAND’S END?
4: BRITTANY OR DEVON?
A racing certainty: The tide’s sweeping into Lossit Bay on Islay . . . and also the volcanic island of Maui. But can you tell which scene is in Hawaii and which is in the Inner Hebrides? 8: HAWAII OR ISLAY?
