Westcountry. Specifically, Somerrrrrset, the land of ciderrrrr. Not very far, in fact, from Bristol, where Long John "Arrrrrr Jim Lad" Silverrrrr comes from.

Have you seen The Curse of the Were-Rabbit? Mr Growbag has a Westcountry accent, and at one point says, "Kiss my arrrrr-tichoke!" And who could forget the Wurzels with their number one hit I've Got a Brand New Combine-Harvester, every single R clearly audible?
