The moorlands. Everytime I go back to Yorkshire, even when its for such sad occurances, the moorland never fails to take my breath away. which is one of the reasons why I love the New Forest too, because it does have moorland…and oh my gosh, Dartmoor was spectacular… even if the huge drops and cliffs did make me feel very,v ery queasy.
But saying that I do yearn for the sea too, and feel very lucky to live so close to it. My only bugbear with Folketones is that the beaches aren’t natural anymore, the sandy beach, is manmade, and because of the sea defences, the pebble beaches aren’t really natural anymore either - they are heavily shored up with shingle/pebbles. If I didn’t find it so hard to walk on the pebble beach it would be my preference to the Sandy beach, because at least there are rock pools to explore.
And this summer for the first time (assuming ti warms up a bit, to warm the sea lol), I might actually get to go in properly, as Rye is no longer afraid of the water, be rather cool if I could teach him to swim in the sea! (cheaper than teh swimming pool too!)

I know what you mean about yourkshire moors. I love that Red and burnt orange glow on the ground and the bustling winds between manchester and huddersfield. Lovely reservoir walks up there too.
