+1 for Bam's response. No, after how well prepared and knowledgeably you are, living off the land is hard work. If however you do want to explore and practice living off the land get some training in first aid and navigation first if you haven't already and then look at foraging knowledge.
As far as routes are concerned, there's some fantastic wild and remote country in the Cambrian mountains of mid Wales. Sparsely populated, plenty of water sources and a few bothies thatbyoure can use between nights in bivvvies.
