Custom-made in England
Bucolic or avant-garde? The birthplace of Shakespeare and The Beatles, England appeals as much for its charming countryside as its cities brimming with culture. After exploring London, the exuberant capital, take to the roads lined with aristocratic mansions, delightful cottages, gardens in bloom, and more. Head for Brighton, England’s best-known seaside resort, or Bristol, the place to be for a great night out and street art. On the way, take the time to explore the New Forest’s heather-carpeted moors and stroll around the elegant campuses of Oxford or Cambridge. Make your way west to go dolphin watching in Cornwall and stop further north in Manchester or Liverpool to attend a soccer match.
Road trip through an ancient Celtic land
Cross the border to get your fill of Celtic culture and discover a country with a long memory. Off the beaten track, Wales is not short on charm. Here, the narrow asphalt strip winds its way between meadows and marshes, against a backdrop of high mountains and jagged coastline. Small thatched-roof houses, Norman castles, long sandy beaches, and more. Stop whenever you like the look of the landscape or a pub, where you will be welcomed like an out-of-town friend. Turn off the engine and explore the wild scenery of the Brecon Beacons, set off to conquer the Snowdonia mountains, and hike along the sheer cliffs on the Pembrokeshire coast.
Green as far as the eye can see
Head for the very north of the United Kingdom to the country of kilts, romantic ruins, and the Loch Ness monster. Welcome to Scotland, a land of history and legends, green pastures, and windswept heaths! Hike through the rugged mountains of the Highlands, walk along the beaches of the Hebridean islands, roam the streets of Glasgow and Edinburgh… A host of experiences to attempt to unlock the mysteries of Scotland.
If you are still hankering after the majesty of nature, Northern Ireland, its sheep, the rolling slopes of the Mourne Mountains, the magical Glens of Antrim, and the legendary Giant’s Causeway await you on the other side of the North Channel.
Whether you prefer pubs or teatime, rock or the bagpipes, a cozy bed & breakfast or a haunted castle, a road trip around the United Kingdom makes a fantastic playground for curious travelers.
