Just a quick post tonight, well done the Lake District on winning Britain's Favorite View on ITV. I am biased but there really was no contest, mind Janet Street-Porter did her best to put the Lakes down.

I was very impressed by the view that won. As one who recently moved to the UK, I can't wait to explore some of the locations featured.
