I went to the Tower of London a few weeks ago and it was so breathtaking and an emotional experience. I went to the Maldives a few years ago and that was breathtaking cos of it's sheer beauty and how perfect it was. |

I think one of the places that left an impression on me was when I visited the Vatican City. I'm not at all religious in fact atheist but there was something very special, very serene about the place and it's stunning! |

The volcano Kilauea on the Big Island Hawaii was literally breathtaking (the intoxicating smell of burning vegetation and shoes)! The ability to stand just feet from a slow moving lava flow is just unbelievable. |

Loads.
Chichen Itza, the cenote in Riviera Maya (the one they did this years red bull cliff diving in!), the pyramids, Ayers Rock, Niagra Falls, the Grand Canyon, the view across Laos Myanmar and Thailand from the Anantara hotel, the valley of the kings at sunrise......
Fuck I need a holiday!

I haven't done a lot of travelling, but at the age of 12 I went to Northumberland with the school, and a view from above the pine forests made me stop dead in my tracks. The smell was amazing too |

Lands End (not the tourist bit). The history and mythology that surrounds the place is enough to spike the interest and the visible, titanic power of nature that one can witness even on a calm day is breath taking.
I don't care what the law says, Cornwall is not part of England, it is it's own entity. |

For me it was standing next to ground zero in New York 3 months to the day after the planes hit, a very humbling experience at the sight of such devastation |

I have been lucky to have travelled a bit and have seen some amazing places.
Sunset over Monument Valley
Camping on the Mesas in Monument Valley with the Navajo indians
Snorkeling in the Maldives and seeing a manta ray
Swimming in the Maldives with a turtle
Seeing a female orangutan in Borneo unfold her arms to show me her baby
Phi Phi island before it was developed
The moment I saw my first wife in her wedding dress
Sitting on the dockside in Biarritz at sunset
Watching the gargoyles on Sacre Coeur spout water during a heavy rain storm in Paris
Wat Pho temple in Bangkok
The Golden Gate Bridge at sunset
The ghost town of Bodie
Having a bear washing himself next to my boat in Canada

"For me it was standing next to ground zero in New York 3 months to the day after the planes hit, a very humbling experience at the sight of such devastation "
I imagine it was. A place to stand and take stock.
Heron Island on the Barrier Reef. I was extremely lucky to be on a beach, just two of us and a turtle nest hatched. Watching those baby turtles getting to the ocean was amazing. Then snorkeling over giant rays in the harbour felt like being in another world.
Buildings fascinate me too and can take my breath away with their beauty. The Natural History Museum is one of those for me.
Seeing the statue of David in Florence, it truly is a beautiful sculpture that I could sit and look at for hours. |

Several places.
The Lakes, all over there are beauty spots.
Peak District, has some brilliant sights.
Wales, I used to ride all over the places. So many times I had to stop the bike and remove my lid to soak up the sights.
Isle man will always be a special place to me, so many sights.
I have been to a few places abroad, but nothing compares to the places in this country.... yet. |

I agree with all of those places. I will add coming round beachy head in a sailboat, coming into Littlehampton marina at night was stunning especially at sunset. |

Cliff tops in St Andrews in Scotland in Autumn with the storms coming in. Your face is THE first thing that the wind and rain hits after 400 miles of North Sea.
Literally takes your breath away. |

Dawn, at St Kilda - which is beyond the Outer Hedrides. To see the outline slowly revealed as the sun rise behind the main island of Hirta, viewed from a boat just arrived in Village Bay....
Awesome. |

Ditto, the feeling of emptiness and sadness I felt one the day I visited ground zero 4 months after the event will stay with me for life. |

We were there a few weeks ago and see the work they have done there since. |

I did once spend a week in Cornwall taking nighttime pictures of hale-bopp over various landmarks.
I've got two favourites,one from lands end over the marker post and one over St Michaels mount, it was a crystal clear night in early march with the tail stretching far off across the night sky and I must admit to bring taken back by the majesticness of the scene. |

I love Northumberland...
The beach at Bamburgh on a wild and windy day when no-one else is mad enough to venture out 
So many fantastic spots....the views from the road from Rothbury to Alnwick... |
