DISCOVER OUR THREE AREAS OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTY ON THE ROUTE

North Wessex Downs

Marvel at the prehistoric stones of Stonehenge and Avebury, the Wiltshire White Horses and the White Horse at Uffington. Take time to visit Highclere Castle, where Downton Abbey was filmed, and get lost in the mysterious hillforts, neolithic burial mounds and genteel country houses.

The Chilterns

Characterised by neat farmland, ancient woodland and chalk downland. The Chilterns is a haven for wildlife including red kites. Explore the fabulous trails of The Ridgeway and the Chiltern Way Circular passing sparkling-clear chalk streams.

The Cotswolds

The Cotswolds Way starts in Bath and follows north for 102 miles, to the well-to-do market town of Chipping Campden. Explore Corsham, Castle Combe and Dyrham Park, or just take in the views: gentle hills, sweeping valleys and summer wildflower meadows dotted with warm limestone homes. This is England at its prettiest.
