Used to always go on holiday as a kid to Cornwall and loved it there. We all crammed into our little blue mini and the drive seemed to take forever down from the Midlands and can still remember the thrill of first spotting the sea from the car. We used to stay in a small family run guest house at Delabole (famous for its slate quarry) and used to love the local unspoilt beaches. Other favourite places were Devils Hill, the witches museum at Boscastle, the sunken church of St.Enodocs near Wadebridge, Tintagel and Polperro. Sadly haven't been to Cornwall now for years but have many fond memories and loved the rugged coastline and the windy roads with tall hedgerows. TBH I think there are many beautiful places in the UK-just that the weather isnt always too good ! Also like the North Norfolk coast and recently had a break in the Wold of Kent near Chiddingstone which has beautiful countryside, lots of historical Tudor era buildings and some great pub food.
