"If there's a choice between a minor road or an even more minor lane," McClarence writes, "we think minuscule, taking the byways, not the highways." That approach leads them to numerous idyllic villages including Guiting Power, pictured here. Photographer David McLain traced the same route through this charming region of gently rolling fields and wooded hills.
