2004: A British Journey - Wales

An aerial view of the Welsh countryside, lots to see and do. All of these have nice countryside walks

1990: National Parks

but these two look as they are setting off fully loaded for a long distance hike in the Pieljakaise National Park

1994:The Age of Steam

Enjoy the views of the countryside from a train window, this one is travelling though Scotland on the West Highland Way. 1994, the year the stamp was issued, was also the year of the opening of the Channel Tunnel. Another journey by train could be taken from Scotland down to London

and onto the Eurostar to Paris, change on to the TGV, then hop off at Angouleme, there will be a half an hour wait for the local train to arrive and then on to the destination ,Cognac. Daydreaming a trip I read one can book a "chic picnic", enjoy walking the small roads through the vineyards to meet the winegrower-distiller then eventually settle down in the middle of the vines to a picnic of local produce with wine and cognac. A relaxing day out in the countryside.

Joy, this is a delightful countryside stamp selection! I especially love the Welsh mountain landscapes - they are breathtaking. I'd love to see those in person someday.
As much as I love Wales, I think the countryside of France is calling to me. The aerial views almost always surpass the walking views.
Your thoughts of a trip to Cognac are compelling!

Mine would be the view from a train, not a hike with packs like that! Now that I'm older, the word "hike" sounds like a lot of work!
A very nice selection. French countryside has something special.
The Welsh countryside stamps are lovely, with an amazing postmark.
I love the train stamp!
