Scenic land away?

Hi all.

I recently obtained my PPL and am looking to take my wife up as my first passenger. I'd like ideas for places to land away somewhere scenic for a picnic perhaps. I fly from Biggin, and I'm looking for somewhere preferably no more than 50nm flying distance away.

I've only ever landed away at Fairoaks, Earls Colne and Lydd.

South, turn right at the coast, follow the coast to the IOW, go into Sandown? Wonderfully scenic, can't get lost, can be a bit lumpy on finals.
