There are a few extinct volcanoes in Dartmoor & Bodmin Moor, but people get quite upset if you build there, with them being National Parks & All that.
I will confess my two forays into Scotland have been quite limited. On a motorcycle camping trip my brother & I rode through Glasgow, took the ferry across the Clyde to Dunoon and then a bit further up the valley from Holy Loch to Loch Eck, where after a week of walking in the area our tent was flattened by the wind. Then on another visit for work, I flew into Glasgow, was driven to Prestwick airport where my visit was confined to one hangar talking to BAe stress engineers before being driven back to Glasgow airport.
I would love to visit the Highlands, but where we are in Kent, the Austrian Tyrol is no further away, more exotic and easier to get to, especially given the state of UK roads compared to the multiple alternatives in Europe. The last time we went to the Tyrol, we had more roadworks in the 40 miles between us & Dover than in the 600 miles between Calais and Austria.

Yup. Happens all the time. Had the same experience back in the day walking the Lairig Gru in March. Not a good thing to do when underprepared, in the snow, but luckily we were directly by the Sullivan hut, so could go inside. Otherwise, I suspect we might have ended up as statistics... When I look at it now on a map, it's "only" just over 8 miles of stiff walking, but oh, boy. Not in March!
