We want to know – and we want you to tell us. Send us you contributions and we'll publish them on our area guide pages – and if you're a high-tech Johnny with a digital camera and an eye that puts David Bailey to shame, send us pictures of the place as well.

And finally – please add a name, or a pseudonym, so that other people reading your deathless prose know that it isn't us, or estate agents, scribbling away and making all this stuff up!

Need inspiration? Here are a few recent contributions. To send us yours, scroll to the submission box at the end of this page.
