5 Road Trip Destinations in the UK

  • September 1, 2022
  • Jules

The UK is a fantastic place for a road trip with so many incredible areas to discover with stunning countryside, historic landmarks, charming towns and villages and major cities throughout. So, where are a few of the best road trip destinations in the UK? Here are a few places that are worth exploring on a road trip adventure.

Jurassic Coast

The Jurassic Coast in East Devon is a brilliant place for a road trip as you can see some of the UK’s most stunning landscapes, explore the cool villages and towns, and learn about the rich geological history of the area. The Jurassic Coast is a World Heritage Site due to the rocks, fossils and landforms here and it remains England’s only natural World Heritage Site. 

Atlantic Highway

The southwest is a popular area for a road trip because there is so much natural beauty on show as well as villages and towns to discover. The Atlantic Highway is a great way to tick off Somerset, Devon and Cornwall and see the dramatic coastline, thick forests, rolling hills, and picturesque villages on one trip and there are lots of ways to customize the route if you have certain areas that you want to visit. 

Rhyl, North Wales

People do not think of the UK when discussing beaches, but there are many superb ones to choose from all over the UK. It is hard to beat Rhyl in North Wales for beaches with many miles of golden sand to enjoy in an idyllic setting. There are also holiday homes and caravan parks in North Wales that will allow you to make the most out of your time here.

Snowdonia

Another option in Wales is Snowdonia National Park, which will showcase the breathtaking natural beauty found and give you the chance to conquer the highest mountain in Wales in England at 3,560 feet! In addition to the gorgeous landscapes to explore on a road trip, Snowdonia is also home to many villages and towns to check out. 

Peak District

In terms of natural beauty, it is hard to beat the Peak District in Central England. Spanning around 555 square miles, there is a huge amount to discover here and this is why a road trip is such a good option. The Snake Pass is one of the most scenic drives in all of the UK stretching across the Pennines – be sure to take a camera!

These are a few of the best places in the UK for a road trip that would show you the great beauty found here and provide a real adventure. A road trip can be a fantastic experience and the UK is home to some breathtaking natural scenery, charming towns and villages and historic landmarks to discover on your adventure.
