How to use this trip

The stop order is a straight-line proximity model, not live turn-by-turn navigation. Use the route planner for a road estimate, then verify current roads, public access, closures, opening times, permissions and weather. For heritage districts, allow time to explore the surrounding area rather than treating the coordinate as a single entrance.

Season: shoulder months are often a useful starting point, but local climate and daylight vary. Check a current forecast before departure.
