Found the Londoner haha. 2 minutes from me is a walk where I can do an easy 6 miles without seeing or hearing anything but nature (maybe a few dog walkers). Even at that 6 mile mark it's just a lil village then more nature.
Come up north if you're starving for silence! A lot of villages are connected by old railway lines (rails removed), they make for great peaceful walks.
In any case I don't disagree with you. I do hope there's no stream of drones one day buzzing along, I might have to get into slingshottery.
I live in a small, boring town and regularly walk in the countryside. I think our definition of silence is different. Even in the north of the Peak District you'll get planes from Manchester airport. Everywhere else you'll hear loud cars/motorbikes from every direction. There are pockets of quiet, but it's very difficult to find true silence in Britain now. In any case, my point was really that these last few pockets are now at risk.
