biggest open flat land in uk ?

As title, I was watching a TV show on death valley in the USA with massive open empty space, it got me wondering, where is the UK's equivalent ? I know we live on a tiny island

but I wonder where the biggest open flat space is in the UK ?

Probably somewhere like Salisbury plain? Or the fens, or perhaps some of the moors in Scotland.

Edit: obligatory "my girlfriend's chest"

Guessing The Fens as previously stated.

The altitude of much of the area is below 60 metres and the Fens has the largest tract of low, flat land in the UK.

Flat apart from those two small peaks.

I don't know about the biggest, but my favourite Flatland is Anne-Marie Flatland the Norwegian biathlete

You don't even have to go that far. A few miles West of Cambridge and you're on a natural billiard table.

Yes, it's like being in Holland. Flat as a pancake from horizon to horizon.
