Favourite county in the UK?

At this time of year all counties are very much similar to each other re: flora and fauna.

So what is your favourite county to drive to at this time of year ?

mine is Leicester - home of Walkers crisps-Pukka pies-Stilton cheese and of course Melton Mowbray Pork pies

Leicester is a city, Leicestershire is the county.....

Caithness, not many people, very little traffic, nice scenery, nice people. bliss

A tricky question which needs quite some thought

Here are my top places of interest

Cromwell's troops when quartered in Reading, made reference to a locally bred pig renowned for its size and the quality of its bacon and ham. This turned out to be one of the earliest records of the Berkshire breed

The British Saddleback is the result of the amalgamation of two similar breeds, the Essex and Wessex Saddleback

The Hampshire is one of the World’s most important breeds.

The Large White owes its origins to the old Yorkshire breed.

The Large Black, one variety is to be found in East Anglia and the other in Devon and Cornwall.

Then there is The Oxford Sandy & Black Pig

The Tamworth, the oldest pure English breed

There's the Welsh pig which comes from the 1870’s when there was a considerable trade in Welsh and Shropshire pigs into Cheshire

and finally who can forget The Gloucestershire Old Spot famed for grazing in the apple orchards, and clearing up the windfalls. They predominantly live outside throughout the year and are therefore known for being tough and hardy, although also quiet and easily handled.

and all tast fookin marvellous between 2 slices of bread and a splattering of HP Sauce!!!!

Dorset. Beautiful... trouble is, its full of southerners!

Take it you like bacon, Rob. Try Aldi's own brand, its lovely!

Bacon is sooo good even Israelites and veggies sneak a bite when no one's lookin

For those Counties I left out, let us not forget we have Lincolnshire Sausages, Cumberland Sausages and the Chiltern Sausage, then we have the infamous Black Pudding from Lancashire

Although not a County you cannot ignore London when asking such a question so i'll include London Particular a thick pea and ham soup

Theres only one winner YORKSHIRE. Biggest and best

Yorkshire, is full of winging tight and unstable people

and Yorkshire puddings !! Had one of my most memorable Sunday lunches in York a few years back

Lancashire my home couty :-) hollands pies, black pudding, lancashire hotpot, lancahire cheese, and burnley fc :-)

'Ere Rob,

That bit about Cromwell's boys talking about Berkshire pigs? Did they tell you that themselves or was you earwigging their conversation from the other side of the pub?

The beautiful and varied scenery of Galloway in South West Scotland is undoubtedly the winner

Cheeky F**ker Stuart.....To suggest I was earwiggin!!!

Inner & outer Hebrides during the summer ( 2 days in August ) take some beating, but during the winter months ( September to July) forget it !! BTW, Stornoway black pudding beats all others into a cocked hat,

For a county the size of Nottinghamshire to have Just 3 KFC outlets is a disgrace! And one of those is in the pedestrianised part of the city! Definitely a County to Avoid

Am jiggin about like an unstable person. Having lived in Whittle-le Woods I seen whinging

I was only joking about yorkshire, there are bad and good in every County, my lass is from Yorkshire & she does whing now and again.
