How this plan is made

No one picks these by hand and no one pays to be in them. The planner's rules take the places and roads the Chilterns's pages rank, for a family, any month: one town to stay in, and each day its best stop with the best ones close to it, two a day, with lunch nearby and an indoor stop if it rains. Distances are as the crow flies, so the road is longer. Check opening times on each place's page before you go. How the ranking works.
