Writer Jade Bremner describes why she loves Iceland. "The geological theme park that is Iceland was, for years, a well-known secret among hardcore adventurers. NASA astronauts have trained in its otherworldly landscapes, but you don't have to be a seasoned risk-taker to experience volcanoes, waterfalls, glaciers, natural baths and geysers - Iceland's biggest draw is that its wonders lie all around. I return to the land of fire and ice as much as I can, preferably in summer, when the days go on forever - even then, there's never enough time to see it all."

Writer Nicola Williams describes why she loves the Netherlands. "Having family here, the Netherlands has always been a natural port of call for me. Living the high life in Amsterdam, gorging on sand dunes and Van Gogh art in the Hoge Veluwe National Park and two-wheel island-hopping in Friesland are among my highlights. But it's the dutch life attitude I love most. Fusing an old-fashioned 'great outdoors' simplicity with an insatiable desire to design and innovate for the good of the land, this country has its finger right on the 'live well' pulse."

2. Delft

3. Scheveningen
