Share details of your favourite travel discovery over the past year, whether it was in the UK or further afield. It might be a fantastic place to stay, an amazing historic site, a beautiful area off the beaten track, restaurant, an unsung town or city … anywhere that felt special.

If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.

Keep your tip to about 100 words

The best tip of the week, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet, will win a £200 voucher to stay at a Sawday’s property – the company has more than 3,000 in the UK and Europe. The best tips will appear on the Guardian Travel website, and maybe in the paper, too.
