A travel expert has named five scenic UK summer drives that should be on your bucket list. The round-up of the UK’s best road trip routes highlights the country’s diverse landscape – from rolling hills, mountains, storybook villages and coastal views.
According to Dan Doherty, insights manager at Away Resorts, the rise of staycations has created a growing appetite for “more flexible, weather-proof travel options”. He says road trips are the “perfect way to explore at your own pace”.
“Whether you have a day or a week to spare, scenic road trips are the perfect way to explore the UK’s natural beauty, ” says Dan. “From spontaneous detours to peaceful viewpoints, travelling by car lets you enjoy the journey without the stress of crowds or fixed schedules.” It comes after sunbed wars have seen Brits forced to queue for ‘over an hour’ just to get to the pool.
Road trips offer the “freedom to roam” with the “comfort of staying close to home”. That said, Dan shares his ranking of the top five road trips everyone Brit should try.
