This is a great route covering most of the scenic areas of England Wales and the South of Scotland. Only missing out on the Highlands and Islands of Scotland !
I would suggest this to anyone wishing to avoid the major UK cities.

Great run for larger adventure bikes. 70% paved lanes with some very easy green lanes mixed in. Bishop Bennett Way was a nice long easy green lane. Plenty of nice villages to grab coffee and food.
