East vs West coast
Much has been written about the east vs west coast in the USA, but in 
the UK most information is targetted around specific activities and competitions of the east vs west coast. For example the North East vs the North West sea fishing challenge, the differences in the sea on each coastline is probably what causes the differences between the two coasts.
The east vs west coast comparison should be quite easy when compared with the same activities carried out in the states. However the people in the USA tend to be more vocal on thier achievements. In the UK if you are interested in the differences you need to go and look for yourself.
When I compare the east vs west coast I think of the north east and north west rather than the full coastline. Partially because I grew up in the North East myself and enjoyed visting the north west on a regular basis for annual holidays.
The comparison of east vs west coast  is not as interesting to me unless you include some of the features further inland as well. For example in the west you have the Lake district, a fantastic area to visit and even live. This is of course resrticted by your work, if you don’t need to be close to a specific work location its good but the transport system limits accessibility. 
In the east you have the Yorkshire Wolds, pleasant to walk through but nowhere near as intesting as the Lake District, not to me anyway.
The differences east vs west coast in my opinion are influenced not only by the coastline and differences in the seas that border them but also the prevailing weather. This is distinction is maintained by the pennines which separate the east and west of the country.
Primarily the rain falls in the west to a much greater extent than in the east. This means that the rainfall on the east vs west coasts is much higher in the west. This additional precipitation results in more erosion and intersting features on the west side of the the pennines. This is I believe why the Lake District is much more dramatic in appearance than the smooth undulating hills of the Yorkshire Wolds.
I enjoy visiting both the east and west coast but if I have to compare the east vs west coast to choose one or the other I find it difficult. Both east and west have their own special points which make me happy when I visit.
I’d love to hear other peoples perspective so please leave a comment so I can learn more about your thoughts on the east vs west coast of England
