novaTopFlex has just finished identifying attractions in the British Overseas Territories. Unlike the hustle and bustle of a city like London, not a single territory in the British Overseas can claim such a fast pace of life. The significantly more modest pace of life in an area such as the Cayman Islands or the Turks and Caicos Islands is often further mitigated by the waterfront, of which the Overseas Territories provide plenty of shore as many are insular. Gibraltar, of course, is the exception rather than the rule, since the territory is firmly located within the Iberian Peninsula at the closest point to Africa, which is actually fairly close to Spanish Ceuta.

Hype for the Future 50G: Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha
Saint Helena πΈπ is the chief island of the three associated island territories of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge of the South Atlantic Ocean, significantly south of the African mainland and removed from the South American mainland as well. The British territory is located in an extremely isolated area, even more isolated than the location of Bermuda (which is actually significantly closer to North Carolina and the United States overall than to the British Isles), also located within the Mid-Atlantic region proper. Even the islands of Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha themselves are significantly further apart than the relative locations of the Cayman Islands, the Turks and Caicos Islands, Anguilla, and Montserrat are to one another.
