Designed to take 1 or 2 days, this driving route makes a magical mini road trip. Stay at B&Bs and pubs en route or base yourself in one of the villages. Visit in spring to see the cider orchards blossoming pink and in autumn for the harvest of apples and perry pears. Along the way, there’s plenty of opportunities to enjoy local food, drink and heritage. Take a picnic and go for a paddle on the pebble beaches at Pembridge and Eardisland. Or stay a while longer and get to know this picture-perfect landscape on foot with our circular walking routes.
