To me, who thinks the Lake District fells are the ultimate in sublime (especially those around Buttermere), those are what I'd call MOUNTAINS! and are so eye-bleedingly awesome they look like Roger Garland dreamt them up. I'm a bit scared to think that such technicolor marvels even

Hot springs are all over the place - there's also Harrogate (very un-mountain-y) and Buxton, nestled in the midst of some quite creepy peaks - there are some hills near Earl Sterndale that look uncannily like green dragons asleep. Take a look at Chrome Hill, it freaks me out whenever I go past it:
