The distinct 'Y' shaped water body nestled within the dramatic valleys of the Peak District.
Sheffield
Expansive views of the 'Steel City' and its transition from industrial centers to green Pennine foothills.

The Wash Estuary

One of the UK's most famous stately homes, clearly visible within its vast, manicured parkland in Derbyshire.
Nottingham
A clear view of the city sprawl, including the historic castle area and the River Trent winding through the center.
The Fens
A patchwork of perfectly flat, highly productive agricultural land that dominates the landscape south of The Wash.
Kings Lynn
The historic medieval port town situated at the mouth of the River Great Ouse as it enters the sea.
