Called the West Kernow Way, the 150-mile route begins and ends in Penzance and is designed to be ridden over three to four days. It will take in many of the highlights of the western half of the Cornish peninsula, including the Botallack tin mines, the Bronze Age monument Mên-an-Tol, Land’s End, St Michael’s Mount and Lizard Point.

The trail is now almost complete (bar a few final safety checks) and will be opened officially next spring, running for 15 miles from Inversnaid to Aberfoyle. Beyond that, there is a grander plan for a 90-mile east-west path from the start of the Cowal Way in Portavadie to Callander. As yet nameless, it should be finished in 2015 and will make a new alternative to the well-worn West Highland Way, which runs north-south.

The Exe Estuary in south Devon makes a perfect base for a car-free holiday. The train from London will get you to Exeter in just over two hours. From here it's a 25-minute journey on the Avocet Line – a handy local rail service which runs alongside the River Exe – to the pretty village of Lympstone, where there's a good choice of holiday houses for hire.

As travellers who wanted a journey more than a destination – and craved the room to work, read and relax on the way – the train seemed an obvious solution. And it was surprisingly affordable: $389 covers you for two weeks of train riding. Or, more specifically, it covers you for eight separate segments of travel within 15 days.
