The region is equally appealing for walking, cycling and scenic drives, with historic country houses, gardens and welcoming country inns adding to its character. Elegant hotels and secluded retreats provide refined ways to experience the landscape. Ideal for discerning travellers seeking nature, tranquillity, heritage and quintessential English countryside.
