I could walk through it on the 75-mile, long-distance trail that starts at my present location.

But long-distance trails offer the liberation of riding without needing to turn round (assuming you're happy to put your bike on a train for the return journey).

Three major long-distance trails pass within a mile of the village.

An extensive network of public footpaths and numerous long-distance trails, over 1800 mi in total, as well as large open-access areas, are available for hillwalking and hiking.
