With temperatures continuing to rise across southern Europe, many of us will be hoping to escape the heat. Northern Europe sits on a treasure trove of cooler countries, where summer temperatures are somewhere around 16C. There are places of astounding natural beauty ranging from the rocky landscapes of the Outer Hebrides to the glacial plains of Iceland. So whether you have hiked across the highlands or dipped your toes in Norwegian lakes, we’d like to know what cooler climates you’ll be revisiting this summer.
If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.
