💡 Good to know for this plan
- ~16.1 hours of daylight in June.
- Longer daylight and milder conditions suit the public circuits. Check live roads, parking, weather and local access.
- Light day: day 3 has one stop and time left over. Local tours and day trips are the way to fill it — each day links to what is bookable in its own town.
