💡 Good to know
- Exmoor's coast road at its clearest and the Tor sunrise crowd thins to pilgrims — Glastonbury Festival week (late June) books out every bed for thirty miles.
- Bath's Christmas market and thermae steam through the cold; the Levels flood into a mirror that draws starling murmurations at dusk.
