13. Burton Joyce
Located just beyond the banks of the River Trent, the village of Burton Joyce is a great place to go for a gander over the summer. The village itself is home to three pubs and a fish and chip shop, so you won't be short for places to relax after taking in the seasonal beauty. | Stephen McKay Photo: Stephen McKay
