Since you're English, you'll appreciate the Pelican Inn not far from Muir Woods on 1. If you want a Pahoa-like detour from the Sonoma Coast turn right on 116 toward Guerneville, along the Russian river to Armstrong Grove. Or before that turn right toward Sebastopol to see the town of Bodega and site of Hitchcock's The Birds...So many places...
