In the UK, Liverpool and Newcastle both have very different accents to most of the North of England. The various towns and cities in Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cheshire and Greater Manchester mostly sound pretty similar IMHO, but those cities have pretty unique accents. In fact, even people from Middlesbrough at the very least sound half-way between Sheffield and Newcastle, despite being much closer to the latter.

London i would say has a totally different accent to the home counties which either sound more like Norfolk, slightly midlandish or quite a typical west country burr which can still be heard in parts of Kent though not as much anymore in Surrey. Stoke has a fairly distinct accent though i would imagine the surrounding farmland sounds similar, Manchester still sounds somewhat distinct from Bolton and Bury and Sunderland has quite a different accent at least from Newcastle and probably Gateshead. Newport and Cardiff despite their small size seem to have a softer accent than surrounding areas, especially those towards the Valleys.

Although you can sometimes still hear West Country (influenced) accents in Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Hampshire, most people in Southeast England and even increasingly in Southwest England nowadays sound pretty similar. (In Bristol, Swindon and Exeter, only a minority of people nowadays still have a traditional West Country accent, though it seems to be more widespread in Gloucester on the other hand).
