T?r Mawr Lighthouse, Llanddwyn Island. T?r Mawr lighthouse is a unconventional structure, which might not be immediately recognisable to all as a lighthouse. Nonetheless, it's location and the backdrop of the mountains of Snowdonia make it very much a favourite of mine.
Eilean Donan Castle, Dornie, Scotland (1). Eilean Donan is reputedly the most photographed castle in Scotland, and from first glance it is easy to see why. Surrounded on all sides by the waters of Loch Alsh and Loch Duich, as well as the towering mountains of Skye it really is a stunning location.
Mont Saint Michel, Normandy, France. Popularly nicknamed "St. Michael in peril of the sea" by medieval pilgrims, Mont Saint Michel is a tidal island on the Normandy coast, rising some 300ft over the surrounding sea, it is one of the most extraordinary locations I've visited to date.
Eilean Iarmain Lighthouse, Skye (2). The lighthouse of Eilean Sionnach is a perfect centerpiece to a quite spectacular bay, surrounded on three sides by cloud-wreathed mountains and the waters of the Sound of Sleat. It will always be one of my favorite locations.
Central Pier, Blackpool. Central Pier was opened on 30 May 1868, and reaches 339 metres into the Irish Sea. The pier has suffered relatively little damage save for two fires in 1964 and 1973, and still draws a large number of visitors annually.
Talacre Lighthouse, Point of Ayr (2). Talacre lighthouse sits on an often windswept beach on the North Wales coast. The lighthouse has been noted for numerous ghostly sightings, people claiming to see a figure wearing old fashioned lighthouse keeper clothes and standing in front of the glass dome of the abandoned lighthouse.

Castlerigg Stone Circle, Cumbria. Castlerigg Stone Circle has stood on top of Castlerigg fell since approximately 3200BC, and it's exact purpose remains unknown. Surrounded on all sides by the Cumbrian fells, Castlerigg is one of the most impressive stone circles in the UK.

Allt Dearg Beag and Sgurr nan Gillean, Skye. Allt Dearg Beag flows through the fantastically atmospheric Sligachan Glen on he Isle of Skye. Although not a large river in itself, it is fed by the Cuillin Mountains and as such can rise quickly after periods of heavy rain.
