My favourite dramatic landscapes include Great Langdale and Borrowdale in the Lake District.
With bonus points for the drive over Honister pass for the fabulous view over Buttermere and Crummock Water, and over the Hard Knott and Wrynose passes out of Langdale.
However these passes include very steep, narrow and windy sections so size and engine power of motorhome might be an issue.
How much time do you have?
And how long is your vehicle?
And what else do you want from the trip?
Otherwise the question is too open. I could fill a page....
Lol, I was gonna say that too fiona w! Beat me too it. Of course I’m gonna say all of Scotland ! Well.....maybe not the biggest cities or most densely populated areas for scenery.
Now.... I’ve travelled all over the (UK), as have many folk here. It’s all down to what you like. The welsh coast is fabulous, and has something for everyone. Cornwall is rugged, beautiful and has great wee scenic villages. The lakes are pretty, as mentioned have great scenic drives.
Lots a people rave about Northumberland, but I have to say it’s not up there in my top ten.
For beach surrounded by mountain scapes and forests too.....gotta be west coast Scotland , you canny beat if. Almost anywhere on the NC500 will give you what you want.
I always thought Skye was my number one go to place......till I went to the outer Hebrides. WOW! It’s mt new no 1!
Good luck and I hope you find what you are looking for

There are some very nice scenic areas of the Derbyshire Peak district and Dales too. Pretty little towns and villages, plus vantage points where you can see for about 40 miles down the Derwent valley on a clear day.
Try following the High Peak trail, heading up to one of the reservoirs such as Carsington or the Lady Bower. Visit one of the many stately homes,Kedleston hall, Haddon hall, or roam the landscape and grounds around Chatsworth house, or call into Matlock bath, a mini resort with all the attractions of the seaside without the sea, again set in stunning scenery, and a mecca for Motorbike enthusiasts of all ages at the weekends, who love to gather and show off their highly prized and polished pride and joy!

If you like visiting coastal/fishing villages, I was impressed by the East Neuk of Fife recently. Lower largo (not a fishing village but good), Elie (big beach), St. Monan's, Pittenweem, Anstruther and Crail on one stretch of coastline. Then there's St. Andrew's, and over the Tay bridge and up the coast is Arbroath as well. The landscape isn't what you'd call dramatic, being gently rolling, fertile and well-farmed, but the coast is interesting. Not sure about campsites, as I stayed in a cottage this time.
Closer to home, Betws-y-Coed to Capel Curig or Llanberis has a lot to offer, landscape-wise, with good views of Snowdon, weather permitting. There are a number of sites in the area from which to choose.
I could go on...!
