Three ways to spend a day

01 / City

A canal-side morning

Follow the water past narrow houses and little bridges. Stop for coffee, look at the reflections and leave time for a bookshop along the way.

02 / Coast

Beside the North Sea

Follow a marked path through the dunes to the open shore. Take a warm layer, watch the changing sky and give the wind a little room.

03 / Towns

Beyond the centre

Choose a small town for an afternoon wander. A market square, a quiet lane and a bench beside the water can make a fine day.
