Apparently, "Tourism experts are urging people to leave the comfort of their sofas this autumn and
get out to enjoy the English countryside."

Wherein we learn, "Visit Britain also promotes England's 5,000 miles of traffic-free cycle networks
including the Coast to Coast (C2C) trail in Cumbria and the Tarka Trail in Devon."
Though, funnily, "Minister for Sport and Tourism Richard Caborn has also given his backing to the
new campaign and called on people not to stay indoors until May."
So, I navigated through the Visit Britain website to find out about the great outdoors:

Following the links to Get Active and then Cycling I learn that:
"If you are interested in a leisurely holiday, enjoying the best of what Britain has to offer by
cycle, then a good place to start is in England's Cycling Country. With a mainly flat landscape, a
large number of circular day rides out from historic towns and cities, and a huge number of things
to see along the way, the East of England is it is a fantastic place for either a longer cycling
holidays, or short day trips."
I didn't know we had an official "England's Cycling Country." I do now.
