All great places.
Personally Somewhere the sun shines bright and warm. The sights sounds and smells full up my senses, tweak my imagination and show me the possibilities life has outside my personal troubles.
Marrakesh, Sri Lanka would be my bolt-holes.

The south coast,
The Peak district,
The Lakes,
Yorkshire dales
Wales
All of those places offer a bit of peace and tranquility.
Alternatively, stay in a boat in a marina. They can be quite relaxing, even if you don't go anywhere. |
