💡 Good to know for this plan

~16.4 hours of daylight in July.
Longer daylight and milder conditions suit the public circuits. Check live roads, parking, weather and local access.
Light days: day 1, day 4 have one stop and time left over. Local tours and day trips are the way to fill them — each day links to what is bookable in its own town.
