Forget the Isle of Wight and the Cotswolds, Suffolk has been named one of the best Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Which?, the UK's leading site for trusted advice and consumer choice, has surveyed the best Areas of Outstanding National Beauty (AONB).
Nearly 4,000 people voted for their favourite untouched locations, using criteria such as wildlife spotting and visitor facilities to determine the rank of the best in the UK.
