                                       landscapes have an astonishing
                                       diversity and this classic trip offers
                                       a taste, from wooded forests to
                                       windswept moors, and coastal cliffs

                                       all along the route for more in-depth
                                       exploration. Bring rain gear at any
                                       time of year as getting out into

                                       means encountering classic British
                                       weather.
