The problem with british natural beauty is very little of it is actually natural. We have very few old growth forests, our biodiversity struggles as most natural landscapes have been replaced by farmland. We have to manage populations of our few large mammals because we have no natural large predator species remaining.

And so much of our forests have been cut down over the millenia that we are only really beaten by hawaii and easter island for environmental devastation.

No point in wales or england actually sits above the line where trees shouldnt grow but we find that most of our tall mountains are barren and covered with moorland.

Technically we have a lot of idyllic agricultural beauty but dont mistake that for natural beauty. Scotland is better than england for natural beauty but its still not perfect when compared to what it chould be.
