Back Roads Great Britain (Eyewitness Travel Back Roads)

100

The Garden of England

Between the North Downs and the coast, this itinerary starts in Ashdown

Forest and loops through winding river valleys to the flat wetlands of

Romney Marsh and back up to the forests of the High Weald and Bewl

Water. The roads twist and turn, diving through woodland and opening

into farmlands – so often there are wonderful and unexpected views.

Weatherboard villages, elegant windmills, distinctive oast houses and

handsome hall houses make it one of Britain’s most architecturally diverse

regions. Called the Garden of England for its orchards of

fruit trees and farmland bursting with produce,

the area also contains some of the finest

and most original gardens in

the country.
