Welcome to Road Trips in the UK. It’s going to be your go-to guide for the most beautiful drives in Britain. This carefully chosen collection will make you want to take a trip on the open roads, through rolling hills, along windswept coastlines, or to discover hidden historic gems in a campervan or classic car.
Over time, we’ll show off a growing number of featured routes, each one chosen for its own beauty and appeal as a driving route. Early highlights include the stunning Yorkshire Dales Road Trip, which goes through golden moorlands, quaint villages, and limestone valleys; and the Snowdonia Explorer Road Trip, which goes through dramatic mountain passes, cascading waterfalls, and rough terrain, letting drivers and nature lovers see Wales at its finest.
In the coming years, you can expect to find more of the UK’s hidden driving gems. These include the peaceful beauty of the Cotswolds circuits and Lake District loops, as well as lesser-known gems like the Snow Roads Scenic Route in the Cairngorms and the Fife Coastal Route, which both offer picture-postcard scenery with fewer tourists than the well-known North Coast 500.
Our adventures are made for all types of travellers, including families, people who love driving, and people who just want to stay home for the weekend. Along with each route, you’ll find useful information about places to stay, things to see and do in the area, suggested stops, and travel tips. Because electric charging stations are becoming more common in the UK and EV travel is becoming more affordable, we’ll also look at eco-friendly options for your trip.
