Here’s a list of five places to avoid the throngs in Britain. Deserted beaches, lonely hills, “undiscovered” paths, quiet corners of this often overcrowded island. They recommend:
- The Rhinogs (“What I love about the Rhinogs is that you can walk among them and there are hardly any reminders of the modern world,”)
- Forest of Wyre (“Once a medieval hunting forest, there are waymarked walking trails, horse and cycle paths, and two off-road family bike trails.”
- Shopshire (As beautiful as the Cotswolds without the crowds)
- Ennerdale Water (“forested hills, clear blue water and vast skies, and the countryside is latticed with cycling and walking routes”)
- Ardnamurchan Peninsula (“stunningly beautiful beach at Sanna Bay”)
- Bamburgh (“stunning white-sand beaches”)
