I guess that's what you end up with when your roads were built by Romans two thousand years ago.
I doubt I'd have the courage to pedal rural England, though I spent some months there when I was young and have kept a deep fondness for the region, especially for the sheep :-)
I spent part of the summer in the western part of the UK.
I quickly learned to try to follow the National Cycle Network (NCN) routes and Komoot.
The roads were extremely narrow but very rural so lightly traveled.
The vast majority of drivers were careful and driving appropriate for the conditions.
Just stay off the "A" roads as much as possible.
And now for you sheep fans:
