Berkshire is a good shout. Honourable mentions for Buckinghamshire (Wycombe is a dump) and Bedfordshire (Luton FFS) as well. Counties beginning with B are probably best avoided it seems.

Because it's full of berks
The origin of the term berk is apparently a contraction of the rhyming slang 'Berkshire hunt' (as in the fox hunting tvvats I suppose), so to call someone a berk is actually a bit more severe than one might imagine.
Signed: A berk.
Oh, and it's obviously Issex, and too bloody close.

There are many lovely parts of Bedfordshire. Some people judge a county by Kenilworth Road.

Offaly - over three weeks of glorious sunshine we had, then we crossed the river at Shannonbridge and the drizzle started, by the morning it was torrential (see avatar) and looking round Clonmacnoise a mad dash from one sheltered bit to another. Here is one of the highlights of a visit to County Offaly from the Wikipedia page:
'Offaly largely comprises a flat landscape and is known for its extensive bog and peatlands. There are many large bogs in Offaly including the Bog of Allen, Clara bog, Boora bog and Raheenmore Bog which are spread out across the county with the Bog of Allen extending into four other counties.'

I had the displeasure of living in Clara (Clara bog) for a year while working nearby.

Yes, but with that many bogs it's probably the best place if you're caught short.
