Beyond London
Motor for two hours up to the tearoom-filled villages of the Cotswolds. Steer right for the ancient academy city of Oxford. Or head to the wild moors and surfing bays of the southwest. En route, take in the spa city of Bath, cross into Wales for the second-hand bookshop capital of the world.
Set off north from London for the Minsters and small town charm of Yorkshire and Wordsworth country tucked away in the idyllic Lake District. Or explore the sparsely populated, picture perfect Northumberland coast.
Pass into Scotland and the golf courses of North Berwick. From Edinburgh it’s a 15 minute hop to hilltop Rosslyn Chapel, made famous by The Da Vinci Code. Glasgow and 16th-century Stirling Castle are nearby. Continue climbing for the Grampian hills, the Cairngorm massif and the jagged west coast.
