We have outlined on other pages travel by foot, road, sea, air, hitchhiking, bike, train, bus etc but there are other alternatives if you want a really different holiday in England.

MOTORCYCLE
A very simple method is to hire a motorcyle (in large cities) or rent a bike. England is a superb country for motorcycle touring, with winding roads of good quality and lots of stunning scenery.

TRUCKS AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLES
This is a form of hitch hiking but truck drivers are often glad for a bit of company on the road and commercial or delivery drivers have been known to take tourists along for a ride in return for some help on the job.
