<blockquote>The trail is now almost complete (bar a few final safety checks) and will be opened officially next spring, running for 15 miles from Inversnaid to Aberfoyle. Beyond that, there is a grander plan for a 90-mile east-west path from the start of the Cowal Way in Portavadie to Callander. As yet nameless, it should be finished in 2015 and will make a new alternative to the well-worn West Highland Way, which runs north-south.</blockquote>

The Exe Estuary in south Devon makes a perfect base for a car-free holiday. The train from London will get you to Exeter in just over two hours. From here it's a 25-minute journey on the Avocet Line – a handy local rail service which runs alongside the River Exe – to the pretty village of Lympstone, where there's a good choice of holiday houses for hire.

As travellers who wanted a journey more than a destination – and craved the room to work, read and relax on the way – the train seemed an obvious solution. And it was surprisingly affordable: $389 covers you for two weeks of train riding. Or, more specifically, it covers you for eight separate segments of travel within 15 days.
