Description by the author

If you are looking for vast spaces, rolling landscapes, friendly people, delicious pastries, and secretly also for fabulous and unlikely legends ... then Wales is the place to be. M&T reporters Pieter and Wim plotted a 4-day trip through England and Wales. This is part IV of that journey: the route back home through England.

Route by Pieter Pacques on behalf of Motoren & Toerisme.

You can read the entire travel story filled with marvelous photography in the June 2024 issue of Motoren & Toerisme magazine. Available via this link.
