Description by the author

The most beautiful adventures are often found off the beaten path, on the forgotten roads that others quickly drive past. This road trip takes you to two hidden gems of Great Britain: the rugged Galloway Forest Park and the breathtaking Northumberland 250 route. Ready for a journey filled with desolate roads, unspoiled nature, and a touch of mystique?

This route will take you past:

  • Corsewall Lighthouse
  • Cairn Holy Chambered Cairns
  • Torhouse Stone Circle
  • Big Water of Fleet viaduct
  • the cave of Sawney Bean
  • Dunaskin Ironworks
  • The Great Polish Map of Scotland
  • Carnbooth Air Battery
  • Chillingham Castle
  • Northumberlandia (Lady of the North)
  • Kielder Skyspace
  • Alnwick Castle
  • Cragside House

And much, much more.
