More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into a leather-upholstered Mercedes at dawn, London light still soft around Heathrow, and the driver eases onto the M3 toward the chalk downs. Through the coach window the landscape flattens into open fields; the sprawl of the city gives way to the ordered calm of rural Wiltshire where the air carries a trace of cut grass and history.
