Depends where you are travelling from, and how far you want to travel.

One part which can almost give hills and quaint villages is Dorset coastal
area, in particular Corfe Castle region. Some great cliff walks between
Swanage and Weymouth (check my South Coast page out for walk photos), plus
some very fine country villages with thatched cottages and other rural
features.

Have fun where ever you decided.

How about the Speyside Way and surrounding area?

As someone else has noted, depends on where you are and how far you
want to travel, but Exmoor is good, as is the Isle of Purbeck (as Sandy
has suggested). In fact pretty much all of the SWCP is good, my
personal favorites are the South Hams, especially the stretch from
Start Point round to Hope Cove and North Cornwall (Newquay to Tintagel,
centred on Padstow).

Further north, Northumberland can be good (Coquetdale, Alnwick, the
castles etc)

Wherever you go, enjoy, and let us know what you thought!

Why not try the Pembrokeshire coastal path? Great at that time of year. More
like real walking than you think, but nothing too desperate.

Or, Offa's Dyke or the Glyndower Way. Both of these run through the
wonderful marches borderlands between Wales and England. They would seem to
have all of the requirements that you need.

The Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall would be one of my first choices -
with it's stunning Carrick Roads Estuary and riverside and coastal
walks. St Mawes could be an excellent base or nearby Portscatho, a
quaint peaceful seaside village. The Roseland is off the beaten track
and has consequently remained unspoilt .
