We've been discussing favourite views with the Nature UK Summerwatch flickr group too and have picked out some of your best photos for a celebration of the UK's striking scenery.

Chris Coulthard kept things simple with this breathtaking image of arguably England's most recognisable lake: Wastwater in Cumbria.
We love the way Jilly W captured the UK's quintessential green patchwork in this photo taken from the Cleveland Way in North Yorkshire.
The sun-kissed yellow fields surrounding Kimmeridge Bay, Dorset in Dom Greves' image make us all yearn for a few more months of summer.
While Alan Gregg's portrait perspective of a mushroom growing on the Gower, South Wales, hints at the fantastic autumn scenes to come.

OK perhaps I've been swayed by highland roots and familiarity with the subject, but my choice is heartfelt, yet I loved them all. Thanks.
