Places
Not a list of everywhere. A list of the landscapes and towns we return to, and what you need to know before you park.

North-west Scotland
Isolated peaks rising straight out of bog and loch. The strangest landscape in Britain.

North Wales
Llanberis, Pen-y-Pass and the Crimea — three short drives with outsized views.

Portugal
Cliffs, storks and cold Atlantic water between Sines and Odeceixe.

England
Salt marsh, shingle and the easiest good weekend within reach of the Midlands.
