How to pick a good day trip

  1. Work out the real travel time each way. A two-hour drive each direction leaves about four hours on the ground.
  2. Trains are often cheaper than a tour if you only want one town; tours earn their price when they combine several stops.
  3. Leave early. Popular towns are quietest before the tour coaches arrive mid-morning.
  4. Check what's closed on Mondays. Museums and churches in many towns take that day off.
