In last summer's heatwave I was walking home along the old roman routes in Anglia after having a problem with my bike, and with the full-on scorch we'd had all manner of encampments become visible in fields. I found the whole experience of walking in the shadows of people gone for thousands of years quite calming somehow, despite realising I was having to ration fluids and food given any shops you might have found were closed for lockdown.

Just south of Cambridge is the intersection between Icknield Way¹ and Ermine Street², and you hardly seem to be able to stick a trowel in the ground without finding a coin hoard in these parts. You can still walk large parts of it on footpaths and bridleways. Not as pretty as Wales, but nice nonetheless.
