You won\u2019t be needing a magic mirror to tell you which British vista is the fairest of them all, because the judge of this particular beauty contest is car insurance company, GoShorty<\/strong>. They recently took it upon themselves to uncover the 10 most jaw-droppingly beautiful views in the entire country<\/strong>. And \u2013 spoiler alert \u2013 not a single one of them is in (or even close to) London<\/a>. Can you believe it? But we\u2019re not bitter over on this corner of the internet, so we\u2019re going to tell you which views made the cut, in case you fancy taking a little trip<\/strong> to feast your eyes on them yourself.<\/p>\n

From the very top of the Scottish Highlands to the very bottom of the Cornish coast, the UK boasts some undeniably impressive landscapes<\/strong>. But although many of them are utterly gorgeous to gawp at \u2013 which one took the crown as Britain\u2019s best view<\/a> of all?<\/p>\n

2000 Brits were asked to put their two cents in on the matter, with each of them choosing their favourite view in the country. GoShorty then ranked the most popular picture-perfect panoramas<\/strong> and popped them in a handy little list for us. And topping the charts as the best view in Britain<\/strong> is Lake Windermere. Up in the dreamy Lake District, England\u2019s largest lake is surrounded by gorgeous rolling hills, quaint little villages<\/a>, and the kind of countryside that looks like it\u2019s come straight off the front of a post card.<\/p>\n

The only national park in Wales came in at second place. Snowdonia<\/strong> spans a whopping 823 square-miles of mountains, lakes, forests and coastlines \u2013 and really is very gorgeous. The third spot was nabbed by Loch Ness<\/strong> up in the Scottish Highlands, with its sweeping views, beautiful beaches<\/a> and magical waterfalls.<\/p>\n
