More than 2,500 people voted from a long list of incredible views created by a panel of leading travel experts from publications including Rough Guides, Mr and Mrs Smith, Wanderlust and Good Housekeeping.

The study was specially commissioned to mark the forthcoming launch of the new Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone which boasts an innovative ‘Infinity Display’ screen and premium camera which has been used to capture a series of stunning photographs of many of the views listed.

The study pinpointed the five key factors that make up a quintessentially British view, with rolling countryside coming top (42 per cent), followed by rugged coastlines (21 per cent), country villages (20 per cent), historical landmarks (15 per cent) and spires, cathedrals and architecture (15 per cent).
