More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into the car outside Heathrow with a suitcase still warm from the conveyor belt, and London’s low skyline easing behind you. The driver pulls onto the M25 and the world outside rearranges itself: manicured parkland around Windsor gives way to rolling chalk downland, and then the stones appear on the plains like an arresting punctuation mark. The day moves at a steady tempo—castle courtyards, lunch in a market square, then the open wind of Salisbury Plain pushing at your jacket as the stone ring comes into view.
