At the risk of being parochial, Cricketfield Road at Horsham on a sunny day is hard to beat.

Really enjoyed Canterbury on Friday. Nice little ground.

Lords is still a very special place. And naturally I love Hove too

Yes, that really is a beauty, isn't it? I was always amazed how they had managed to fit in a sufficiently flat area to play the game on, but apart from a few ups and downs on the outfield, it is a cracking ground. Mind you, if the ball goes off the field, you have to be careful not to step in goat poo or get bitten by an adder, as there are apparently loads of them there. Near to us though, Arundel is hard to beat. Of the Test grounds, Trent Bridge for me. I actually am not that keen on Lord's, even though it's the home of cricket. Too much of the seating is allocated to MCC members, especially for games like the Cheltenham and Gloucester Final, where Lancashire and Sussex only got 4,500 tickets each and could easily have sold double. Secondly, it's okay if you get Grandstand tickets, as you're not far from your seat and there's a bar underneath, but if you're in the Compton or Edrich Upper, you've got a long, steep staircase to climb and the same to go back for toilets, coffee, etc.

I like quirky grounds like Mitcham, where the pavillion is the other side of a busy road. You can sit up on the balcony as the cars go past, below you. Its the only place I have played where you need to observe the highway code before taking the field!
Tunbridge Wells, when the rhodedendrons are in full bloom, takes some beating.
