Hi Eilam,
As a former resident of the Jurassic Coast, now living just across the Exe
Estuary in Dawlish, the problem with the area is that it lies under a major
air route along the south coast, so from about 6am onwards you get a
constant procession of flights passing overhead.
The furthest spot from a road anywhere in England is indeed somewhere in
Northumberland (Kielder Forest I believe). The second is supposedly
somewhere on north-west Dartmoor around High Willhays.
Sadly there isn't really anywhere in England where you have any guarantee o=
f
freedom from man-made noise. Overflying aircraft or mechanised agriculture
can disrupt even the most remote parts of the countryside, and many of our
more remote areas are given over to military training, which isn't usually =
a
quiet business. The best advice I can give is to use Google Maps to track
down a spot which is a reasonable distance from an A or B road (I use 2km a=
s
a starting point) and then visit early in the morning when there shouldn't
be too much traffic on the smaller roads - you might get lucky.
All the best,
Tom
