Cape Wrath

Cape Wrath is Britain’s most north-western point and is several miles from Durness in Scotland, itself a tiny village of around 400 inhabitants.

Culbone

Down in beautiful Somerset on the south-west coast, Culbone is so remote that it is inaccessible by car. The village is one of a handful which straddle the Somerset/Devon border in North Exmoor National Park.

Alston
