Cotswolds, United Kingdom
Score: 67

"Some intrusive development."

"Environmental quality difficult to sustain because of traffic."

"The Cotswolds may be the original theme park. Delightful to the eye. Best in the off-season."

Isle of Wight, United Kingdom
Score: 65

"Archaic and expensive transport links to the mainland are likely to restrain rapid change. Young people will continue to leave the island, retaining the Isle's 'retirement town' image."

"Ecosystem fairly intact."

Lake District, United Kingdom
Score: 64

"There are certainly crowding problems, including serious traffic jams. Despite all this, development is tightly controlled, and it is a site with the interaction between natural and cultural as one of its key attractions."

"Considering the pressures, this National Park has been successful in managing its tourism industry so as to preserve the landscape that people go there for. It has maintained its customs and atmosphere in the face of large tourist numbers."

"Authentic substance but serious problems with conservation of recovered remains; frustrating lack of information on site."

Scottish Highlands, United Kingdom
Score: 75

"Mostly in good shape except for occasional hot spots. Still retains the aura of remoteness and mystery."

"Needs more tourism of the cultural and natural heritage kind. Too much cheap coach traffic with little economic benefit accruing to community or for conservation of natural and cultural resources."

"Beautiful place to travel. Locals appear to have accommodated tourism without sacrificing their traditional way of life."
