Now I'm not sure if they're looking for places you haven't yet visited ... or places that you didn't visit until your 40s when they would have been fun in your 20s.
I have been so ... lucky ... and was, earlier, to visit just about all UK destinations I might wish. For places I haven't visited - perhaps Lindisfarne ... Orkneys, Shetlands, Outer Hebrides. Wish I had seen earlier? Perhaps Bath and other places to the south west of there/here which I never really knew until I moved down this way in around 1982.

The trouble with this sort of question is that of opportunity cost. Time and money dictate that I can't visit everywhere and how can I say that my life would be richer now if at any particular time I'd visited B instead of A? Perhaps one or two other life choices may be more debatable however.

Northern Ireland.

Also, (my going off at a bit of a tangent - yet again): Republic of Ireland (Eire).
Particularly Munster, Kerry and Cork.

Camborne, midweek.

I stuck with UK destinations on this one - because that's what Which? was asking and because the forum has in the past demonstrated (IMHO) that whilst there is a wider interest in some places further afield, it's much more or a specialist thing between a select group.
Railwise, I do love travelling around in Ireland, and my "wish list" / "never been there" must include Colraine, Portrush and Derry which ARE UK.

Solihull anyone?
I have to go there a couple of times a year and travel to a venue just by the motorway at Copt Heath. The town centre is not much different to many others, but bright and clean. I have always been struck when travelling out to the meeting on the bus how the area appears to be almost free of all graffiti.
