Sorry, I don't know about Northern Ireland.

1) Cornwall; has a rugged beauty.

2) Dorset; so much to see and do, and loads of lovely sandy beaches

3) South Devon; very pretty in a ''chocolate box'' sort of way.

Hard to choose between the three!!

i would say kent or sussex, not only is the sunshine record really good there when compared to other parts of britain, you have got a beautiful coastline with the famous white cliffs of dover and seven sisters. charming towns like canterbury and hastings, lush green fields and woodland and the excellent south downs national park. enough to keep you occupied for a week or more.

Dorset, its an amazing county with stunning countryside, amazing beaches and lots and lots to do

The lake district

London or birmingham center there pretty much the same or devon its hot there and load of forenigers
