Updated: Aug 2

Viewers have been ranking the most stunning views scattered across the UK, and it's no surprise one spot in the Lake District has been crowned as the UK's most stunning view!


Produced by a survey of Brits in which they picked their favourite scenic spots, Lake Windermere came up top.


Of those surveyed, 36% of Brits voted the picturesque 10.5 mile-long body of water in Cumbria as their top choice.
