Escape the city with Go Jauntly and Virtuo
Here at Go Jauntly we are looking forward to half term and excited to make the most of the dwindling daylight while we explore some beautiful new places. Since some spots are hard to get to via public transport, we've partnered up with Virtuo car rental to make it a bit easier to escape to the great outdoors.
Many people don't own a private car or have given it up to help reduce carbon emissions, but for those times when you just need a car, you should check out Virtuo. They are on a mission to help by providing car solutions for long-distance journeys. It's a mobile-only car rental service which allows you to book and unlock a neat Mercedes A-Class or GLA all through your phone for up to 28 days.
If you fancy trying them out, use the code GOJAUNTLY to get £20 off of your first UK rental. (*Terms and conditions apply)
We have hand picked 8 amazing walks that are just a drive away from the city for you to check out this half term. Why not make some last minute plans to get out of town and back into nature in the coming weeks?
The bleak cliffs and moors of the Peak District make for a dramatic autumn hike. This route takes in the sweeping views of the surrounding countryside as well as a mysterious rock and a scene from Pride & Prejudice.
Parks & Markets of Tunbridge Wells
Explore the adorable village of Tunbridge Wells on this premium jaunt. Take in the characterful houses in town before exploring the historic Grove park and Calverly Grounds for a nice, relaxing nature fix.
The Big Topp Barr Mòr Trail
Explore the beautiful Tayvallich National Nature Trail in Argyll and But. Its a bit of a climb but worth it for the views of Loch Sween and Knapdale Forest from the top. The perfect place to spend a crisp autumn day.
A pub walk to end all pub walks, this lovely jaunt shows off the amazing landscape of the Cumbrian countryside before ending at The Mortal Man pub to enjoy what is said to be one of the best beer gardens in the country.
No visit to Cornwall is complete without a stop at the incredible Lost Gardens of Heligan, near Pentewan. The gardens which were once lost to neglect and overgrowth have been restored to their former glory and feature a wide range of flora and fauna. This premium walk is even more beautiful in autumn so don’t miss the opportunity to walk it this season.
Explore the nature around a village that 19th century artist William Morris called the “most beautiful village in England”. With bubbling brooks, woodland paths, and old stone cottages, it doest get much more picturesque than Bibury.
This lovely historical circular walk includes historic train stations, two rivers, plenty of wildlife and a quaint old Norfolk village. Much of the route passes through dense forest so it is the perfect way to take in the foliage and practice a little forest-bathing.
Afternoon Stroll at Lyme Regis Bay
It may be a popular summer destination but Lyme Regis is stunning anytime of year, plus it’s much easier to enjoy a quiet stroll in the off season without all the people. Meander along the promenade, wandering as you wish to make this route longer or just enjoy a quick seaside stroll and get a nature hit.
