I should do my own UK travel show... I could make good money.

Below are the Top 10 "Must-See" places in the UK, rated by myself on their beauty, inspirational quality and the sheer joy I felt in the moments spent in these areas. If you're planning a trip to anywhere in the UK... try and visit these:

#10: My first 'Wicked' performance in London was definitely a moment of joy...see it, it's amazing.
#9: Westminster Abbey Evensong- If you go to Westminster on a Wednesday night at 5pm, you will be greeted by the worshiping voices of an enormous boys choir... it's amazing worship.
#8: Walking along Hadrian's Wall- beautiful views and lots of sheep
#7: Hiking part of the Kerry Way- Mom and I walked a part of this trail the runs around the Ring of Kerry in Southern Ireland... very peaceful.
#6: Evening on the Thames- just go near the National Theatre on the Queen's walk, the sound of the waves and the pale blue lights in the trees make it incredibly romantic.
#5: Walking along the Aberystwyth beach, Wales.
#4: Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland.
#3: The Cliffs off of the Aran Islands... spectacular. I likes them a lot better than the Cliffs of Moher.
#2: Biking the Dingle Pennisula out to Slea Head (Ireland)- amazing day with beautiful views of the Irish coast.
and finally... drum roll...
my #1 spot is the Lake District, northern England... specfically the hills (fells) around Grasmere. The heart of this area has tons of great hikes and picture perfect villages... my dream come true.
