Olympic Torch route

Already blazing as it arrives from Greece on May 19, the Olympic torch will travel the length and breadth of the UK taking in the sights -ancient and modern.

The 70-day journey starts at Land's End, where the first of the torchbearers will carry it from the most westerly point in England and will finally arrive, on July 27, at the Olympic Stadium for the opening ceremony.
