Tell us about your special place in the UK – somewhere that encapsulates the nation in some way

Our 30 March issue will be a special supplement celebrating the UK, with writers describing what they love about a place, and what it means to them. To accompany the article we are asking readers to do the same, by sending us a tip on their favourite UK sight or site. The best will appear on our readers’ tips page.

It could be anything from Stonehenge to Edinburgh Castle; a small museum or gallery; a favourite beach, mountain or river; something or somewhere quirky, like a festival or community space; or even your favourite cafe, pub or market.

Send us around 100 words on why the place resonates with you and what it encapsulates about the area, including as much detail and colour as possible – plus a weblink or details where relevant.

We are sorry, but for legal reasons you must be a UK resident to enter this competition.

Photographs are welcome if they are high quality and you are happy to share, but it is the text that our judges will consider. If you do send photographs please ensure you are the copyright holder.

The best tips will appear on the Guardian Travel website and may also appear in print in Guardian Travel. The winner, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, will receive a £200 hotel voucher from UK.hotels.com.
