Where is good to go for a nice drive and then a nice stroll once you get there?


It'll be me doing the driving, and can't drive on motorways, just A roads, as I am challenged in the whole having a license malarky (I am taking my seventh and last crack at my practical test in April).


Nowhere too far, like Carlile or Hull or newquay, please.


Thanks!

I am limited like you but because I have a nonsensical phobia of driving on motorways. However it has meant i've found a few nice trips to the countryside via A and B roads only.


Would suggest driving to Ashdown Forest area. Lots of nice pubs there and big country walks:

You also go via home of Winnie Pooh which is nice place to stop if you've got kids with you:

Best way to go is through Bromley to Westerham, then take the B2026 which has some lovely countryside and pubs on the way. All this is within 1.5 hours drive.


Also would recommend going to Chartwell - the gardens are open at this time of year. Absolutely beautiful countryside views from the massive gardens. Probably a good one for fine weather though.

    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
    • yes I’ve spotted this too — it’s near me and I’m very intrigued to see what it’ll be 👀👀👀👀
