Top 5 Getaways - far from the madding crowd

1. Beach - Gower Peninsula. beautiful and a small walk to get to, whihc puts off the majority
2. Mountain - Scafell Pike. Helvellyn is very touristy. Scafell takes a bit more effort!
3. Museum - Roald Dahl Museum, Great Missendon
4. Cave - Hellfire caves, West Wycombe. Buy a nightstick for a £1 and descend the tunnel for an unique experience
5. Walk - too numerous to mention. Find a local one you have not walked before and blow the cobwebs away. It's amazing what you can discover once you step outside the comfort of a car.
