Go out and see it for yourself. Become an explorer for the day and go and seek the beauty that lies on your door step. Sunshine, rain, snow, fog; the land can be outstanding in so many different weathers so go out whatever the weather and see true beauty for yourself.
Just make sure before you go out, the land you want to explore is public, and if it's private ask the land owner for permission to walk on their land. If you don't ask and go on the land anyway it is trespassing, so make sure to ask for permission from the land owner before you go out walking. If you don't want to ask for permission to walk on private land, then find land that is open to the public.
Like I said, you'll never know what's there's if you don't go looking it.
