Which is the best UK county?

I'll be frank; Tyne and Wear, my home county, is not exactly what I'd call nice, for the most part. Newcastle is a great city though, as long as you keep away from Byker, Fenham, Walker, Benwell, and pretty much the entirety of the city outskirts. Still, we gave the world China Drum, Leatherface, and Ridley Scott. Interestingly, it was Ridley Scott's great uncle Dixon Scott who built the Tyneside Cimema, a lovely place you should visit when in town.
Untrue. It's common knowledge that there are few things capable of stopping an angry Geordie with a brick, especially if drunk on a matchday.NinjaDeathSlap said:Now that's just not fair. The only place in England who's hooligans can hold a candle to Glasgow's is Stoke.Baffle said:
Wiltshire is home to Salisbury Plain. You maybe don't want to be so confident about that.Kashim117 said:But to answer the original question, I would say Dorset. Because it has more tanks that other counties
County Down.
Not a serious answer, I just wanted to be part of the UK people thread.
It was between Down and Antrim because I live in Belfast, which is on the border between them.
If the beak thing mystifies you, I think Ireland looks like an owl flying to the right.
Newcastle (no not that one), and the Mourne mountains. I haven't been up the Mournes though.

Essex.... HAHAHAHAAHA FUCK NO!! Screw that place.
Kent... HAHAHA I CRACK MYSELF UP. Not there either. Maybe Yorkshire or where Newport and Cardiff is.

I'm not a brit myself, but as a proud owner of a cardigan corgi, I'd like to nominate Cardiganshire. I also understand they've got some nice sweaters.
Dorset, and not just because I live there. Long life expectancy, beautiful countryside and coast and nice weather (for the UK).
My parents retired to Cornwall, which is very nice, but also feels like the kind of place you go to retire! As a city boy I love Manchester, but it's cold and always raining, and some parts of London are great whilst others remind me of the line from Twin Town about Swansea - "A pretty, shitty city".
Can we call the British territories that don't want independence counties? Anguilla, Montserrat, the Cayman or British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean obviously don't have the downside of the British weather, and Bermuda even has a parish called Devonshire. Put a Dairylea factory there and sell Burmuda cheese triangles, what could possibly go wrong?)

Bah, Lincolnshire is boring. They've got one decent hill and they plonked a bloody cathedral on top of it. Where the hell am I going to go if by some miracle it snows enough to make sledding viable? Nottinghamshire? The scouts in my area had to have armed police to go camping so they didn't get stabbed. Or was it shot? I can't remember, is Nottingham the place you're most likely to get stabbed or shot?NinjaDeathSlap said:
Anyway, throw in another vote for Dorset. One of the few places in Britain that actually experiences that mythical time of year known as summer.
I feel like Somerset would be nicer if it weren't largely underwater.TheRightToArmBears said:
My pick is the Isle of Wight. It's warmer than anywhere else in Britain, it's got beautiful coastline and beaches, and when I went there last summer my presence was enough to lower the average age signigicantly.
