Welcome to the Scenic Britain by Bus web site. We hope you find it a useful source of information and an enjoyable read. Britain's distinctive countryside is laced with a remarkably diverse range of local bus services that reach deep into the rural landscapes which draw so many visitors to experience the charms and beauty of these islands.

From the fabulous Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site of Devon and Dorset to the stunning wildflower meadows of remote Teesdale; Hertfordshire's Lea Valley to the unforgettable Moray Coast in northern Scotland, scenic bus journeys reward the rider with an unparalleled choice of destinations. The areas and routes included in this booklet feature some of the choicest locations.

Scenic Britain by Bus is your passport to all the information you require to enjoy these to the full; simply follow the web-links noted on each entry.

There's also an introduction to the concept of Slow Travel and a look at access to some of the UK's National Parks.
