Which area is nearest to London?

Think about where each area sits on the map relative to London. The South Downs lie just to the south of London, running along the southern coast area in Hampshire and East Sussex, so they are the closest option. The Cotswolds sit to the west of London in counties like Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire, a bit farther away. The Lakes are in the Lake District in Cumbria, up in the northwest, and the Yorkshire Dales are in northern England, both much farther from the capital.
