As the world becomes more and more accessible, and as travel becomes cheaper and easier, we often forget how difficult travel was years ago. Travelling to the next village or town could take a day, particularly if you had to avoid areas of marshland or forestry. Travelling to a major town or city was something many people just dreamed of.... Today, we have many options open to us - travelling by car, train, plane, bicycle or by foot.
