If you’re taking your own car, camper or motorbike, make sure you’ve got all your documents handy and your spare tyre is in good condition. If your UK road trip itinerary is longer than a few weeks, you may want to consider a vehicle service before you go, and breakdown cover is probably a good idea. Make sure you have a first-aid kit and lots of road trip snacks and water for longer drives, plus travel games if you’ve got kids with you.
If you’re hiring a car or renting a motorhome, and driving in the UK for the first time, here are a few tips;
- Book well in advance and use a care hire booker like Rentalcars.com who will provide the best deals from all the top car hire companies. How? Because they have such a large market share, they’ve got way more buying power than individuals and can negotiate much harder on price.
- Understand insurance options, mileage limits and fuel policies before booking.
- To hire a car and travel in England (and the rest of the UK) you need a valid drivers licence and may need to be over 21 to avoid a large premium.
- Check the car for damage on collection and make sure anything you spot is noted, and the same again when you drop it off.
- Use a UK road trip planner like this one to work out where you want to go. With fifteen of the top road trips in UK, you’re sure to find something that ticks all your boxes.
- Remember to drive on the left during your UK trip!

England
Devon & Cornwall
Barnstable - Rock - Padstow - Newquay - St Ives - Sennen - Porthcurno - Penzance
The most south-westerly county in England has some of the best beaches the country has to offer. You’ll also find plenty of quaint sea-side towns, stunning landscapes and lots of fantastic days out, which make Cornwall one of the best UK road trips for families.
The drive down the M5 or A303 can be long and slow, especially at the weekends when lots of self-catering accommodation providers have their change-over days. Try and head down mid-week and break up the journey before you get to the A30, the main arterial road through the county. Visit the Eden Project on the way, an amazing place to explore, and not to be missed when you’re driving so close by.
Alternatively, take the Atlantic Highway from Barnstable to Newquay, which takes you along the north coast of Devon and into Cornwall on the A39 road. As you head south, enjoy the walking and cycling trails on North Devon’s aptly named Adventure Coast.
Highlights
The Camel Estuary
With pretty Padstow on one side of the estuary and trendy Rock on the other, this is a fantastic family destination with lots to do. Try your hand at surfing or body-boarding in Rock or just have fun in the waves. Eat delicious, locally caught fish in Padstow and enjoy strolling the charming harbour and town.
St Ives
The most famous of all Cornish holiday and sea-side towns, St Ives is graced with a couple of superb beaches and a lively ambiance in the busy and picturesque town and harbour. With shops, restaurants and bars open long into the evening in summer, and several world renowned galleries, St Ives has a cosmopolitan feel and is perfectly placed for exploring the south of Cornwall. It can get very busy here in the high season, if you’re travelling as a couple, visit before UK schools break up for summer if you possibly can.
Porthcurno & Around
The tip of the Cornish peninsula has some amazing coves and beaches. Porthcurno is one of our all-time favourite beaches and is overlooked by the Minack Theatre, which you should visit, if only for the spectacular views. Get to the beach early in the summer months, the car-park fills quickly.
Elsewhere on the peninsula, Sennen Cove and the tin mines at Botallack provide a fascinating insight into Cornish history. Head east for charming Mousehole (pronounced Mowzle), one of Cornwall’s hidden gems (as much as anything in this part of the world can be!). Penzance, of pirate fame, and the splendid St. Michael’s Mount, accessible on foot when the tide is out, are all within a few miles of each other and well worth a visit.

The Cotswolds
Burford - Cheltenham - Painswick - Bath
Is there anywhere more perfectly English than the Cotswolds? The lush and rolling countryside of south west England is dotted with honeyed picture perfect villages set around duck ponds and greens, and the winding country lanes are lined with stone walls and hedgerows.
The region is recognised as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and offers close encounters with wildlife, and birdwatching opportunities at the Slimbridge Wetland Centre. If you prefer a bit more activity, paddle boarding, kayaking and archery are all available at the Cotswold Water Park, and there are lots of great cycling and hiking routes in the area. If you’re looking for a gentle escape and a slow pace, this is a perfect 1 week road trip in the UK.
Highlights
Burford
The medieval town of Burford in Oxfordshire, just 30 minutes west of Oxford itself, and an hour and 45 minutes by car from London, is on the edge of the so called ‘Golden Triangle’, bordered by the A40, A44 and A429. The triangle is home to some of the most idyllic chocolate box villages of the Cotswolds, including Kingham, Churchill, Broadwell, Bledington and Oddington, and a perfect place to start a Cotswolds road trip.
Burford itself has changed little over the centuries, other than becoming one of the most popular tourist spots in the area. Stroll down the famous High Street, lined with half-timbered houses and Georgian architecture, as it descends to the River Windrush. Dip in and out of the side streets and alleys for hidden treasures, more historic buildings and great places to stop for lunch.
Painswick
Painswick, known as ‘The Queen of the Cotswolds’, is a beautiful and historic wool town. One one of the best-preserved settlements in the Cotswolds, built from locally quarried stone, Painswick is a great starting point to travel around the area. Close enough to Cheltenham to make exploring easy, there are many small country roads and tiny villages between Painswick and Cheltenham to discover.
Sitting halfway along the Cotswold Way National Trail, Painswick is surrounded by fabulous hiking country and is a great base to start from. Painswick Beacon has spectacular views across the Severn Valley to the mountains of Wales.

Swanage & Around
Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door
At the other end of the Isle of Purbeck, Lulworth Cove is an almost perfect circle and considered one of the best examples in Europe of this type of marine erosion. Whatever the reason for Lulworth Cove, it really is a wonderful holiday spot, perfect for kayaking, stand up paddling or just messing about in the water.
Literally next door is Durdle Door, a natural limestone arch in the sea, caused by millions of years of erosion. Durdle Door is backed by a beautiful pebble beach and the imposing limestone cliffs that the Jurassic Coast is famous for.
Both places are on the glorious South West Coast Path, which starts in Minehead in Somerset and ends in Poole harbour. The longest long distance footpath in the UK, it snakes along the coast for 630 miles. Follow the path west from Lulworth for wild clifftop views free of people, and the geological wonder that is Kimmeridge Bay.

The Peak District
Chesterfield - Bakewell - Buxton - Castleton - Glossop
Nestled between the cities of Manchester and Sheffield is the glorious Peak District. Straddling the Pennines’ southernmost hills lie ancient stone villages, hillsides dotted with grand stately homes and rocky outcrops in every direction, but no peaks, despite the name. To the north, the Dark Peak area is dominated by exposed moorland and gritstone ‘edges’, while to the south, the White Peak is made up of rolling limestone dales. The diverse and soaring landscapes of the Peak District mean some seriously good drives, making for one of the best road trips in England.
Highlights
Chatsworth House
Known as the ‘Palace of the Peak’, this huge stately home three miles northeast of Bakewell has been the family seat of sixteen generations of earls and dukes of Devonshire. Inside, the lavish apartments and mural-painted staterooms are filled with priceless paintings and period furniture.
Head outside for 25 square miles of grounds and ornamental gardens, including water features, a maze, sculptures, and splendid Victorian glass houses. Some of the grounds were landscaped by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown.
Full of history, Chatsworth House was founded in 1552 by the formidable Bess of Hardwick, who came from modest beginnings to become the second most powerful woman in Elizabethan England after the Queen. It was with Bess’ second husband, Sir William Cavendish, that the Cavendish line, which continues today, was established.
Caves and Caverns
The Peak District is littered with caves and caverns, some entirely natural and some created as a result of historic mining activity.
Peak Cavern at Castleton is the largest cave system in the Peak District and is almost all entirely natural. Known as the ‘devil’s arse’, the cave was inhabited by rope making cave dwellers until the early 20th century and 40 families lived in two rows of cottages in the cave entrance, along with stables, a pub and a few small shops! You will also find Speedwell Cavern, Blue John Cavern and Treak Cliff Cavern in Castleton.
The Heights of Abraham opened in the 1780 and is one of the oldest tourist attractions in England. Alongside the cable car ride and parkland with lots of attractions are two 350 million year old caves, Rutland Caverns and Great Masson, where you can experience what lead mining in the 17th century was like.
Snake Pass
In the heart of the rugged North Peak area of the Peak District, lies Snake Pass. Winding its way through the valley connecting Sheffield and Glossop, this is one of the best roads to drive in Europe. Following the river Ashop, Snake Pass crosses the Pennines at Ashopton and reaches a high point of 512 metres above sea level.
With stunning views in every direction and surrounded by heather carpeted moorland, deep valleys, reservoirs and lush woodland, the scenic Snake Pass makes for a truly memorable drive. With its sharp twisted roads, moulded around the rugged landscape, Snake Pass really is a drive to be celebrated by road trippers. Just a word of warning though, this road is considered one of the most dangerous in the UK, so take it slowly, stop for photos, and savour the drive.

Yorkshire Dales
Harrogate - Malham - Hawes - Richmond
In ‘God’s own country’ of Yorkshire, the roads ribbon between glacial valleys, patchwork fields, flat-topped hills and rocky outcrops, punctuated by pretty villages with quaint pubs, and windswept hiking trails. There’s history aplenty too, in this land that was once host to the War of the Roses, the bloody struggle between the royal houses of Lancaster and York.
Be aware that the Yorkshire Dales National Park is a mecca for tour buses which cause major headaches both on the roads and in car-parks at the most popular spots. Avoid the summer months if you possibly can.
Highlights
Malham
Start in the well-heeled and elegant Georgian town of Harrogate, known then as ‘The English Spa’. On the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, this is a great starting point for your Yorkshire road trip.
Malhamdale is in the Pennines, at the southern end of the Yorkshire Dales. Malham itself is a pretty village, surrounded by the limestone buildings and the dry-stone walls so common in the Dales, with a stream bubbling through the centre of the village.
Malham is best known though for the glacial lake, Malham Tarn, and the majestic Malham Cove, a vast curving amphitheatre shaped cliff formation of limestone rock. The vertical cliff face is about 80 metres high. If you’re lucky, you may see Malham Cove waterfall, which appears in the centre of the cliff face in spring and after heavy rain.
Wensleydale
The lush sweeping valley of Wensleydale is distinct for its wooded hillocks and rushing waterfalls, the most famous being the triple flight Aysgarth Falls and Hardraw Force, Englands largest single drop waterfall.
The capital of Upper Wensleydale, Hawes, is a lively market town with many hotels and tearooms. Local craft and artisan industries thrive making pottery, wooden toys and the famous Wensleydale cheese, Wallace and Gromit’s favourite. The Dales Countryside Museum is an essential visit for anyone interested in traditional countryside life in Yorkshire.
Swaledale
One of the northernmost dales in the national park is Swaledale, a deep and winding valley that is home to the pretty cobbled market town of Richmond, which boasts a rich and vivid history. Sitting high above the town, Richmond Castle dominates the skyline, and views from the top of the massive keep are far reaching between the hills of Swaledale to the west, and the Vale of York to the east and south.
Famous for its hardy breed of horned sheep, Swaledale also puts on a spectacular wildflower display in its meadows, which are a riot of wildlife and colour in June and early July. Spring comes late to this part of England, but you’ll find it an excellent time of year to hike the trails criss-crossing the rugged countryside.

Northern Ireland
The Causeway Coastal Route
Ballycastle - Bushmills - Portrush - Portstewart - Castlerock - Londonderry

Glenfinnan
At the top of this road trip lies Glenfinnan, the historic spot in which Bonnie Prince Charlie called for the local clansmen to assemble in 1745, proclaiming the throne of Great Britain to be denounced and rightfully returned to his family, the Stuarts. His actions and the subsequent Battle of Culloden led to a seismic change in the Highland way of life and caused a long rift between Scotland and England.
You’ll also find the magical Glenfinnan Viaduct here, made famous by the Harry Potter films. This railway viaduct has carried trains on the West Highland Line since 1897. For the best views, take the Glenfinnan Trail to the view point, where you’ll see the steam train crossing the famous viaduct.

Hay-on-Wye - Brecon - Libanus - Llandovery - Gwaun-Cae-Curwen
Brecon Beacons
Undulating dramatically across the landscape, the Brecon Beacons National Park (Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog) encompasses some of the most spectacular scenery in southern Wales. High mountain plateaus and glacial hollows rise above forested valleys, hidden waterfalls and gorgeous rural landscapes that echo to the sound of rushing waterfalls, making this a a varied and exciting Wales road trip.
The relatively short distance from London to Wales, just three hours and 40 minutes driving, makes this one of the best weekend road trips from London.
Highlights
Hay-on-Wye
Hiking
Known as ‘the Beacons’ to hikers, there are many trails to choose from in these mountains. Pen-y-Fan, which just misses out on ‘Furth’ status (the equivalent of a Munro in Scotland), is a favourite of many. The route is a challenging ten mile slog through forest and moorland to the steep ridge of Pen-y-Fan. The views from the top, at 886m, are superb, especially in the winter when the landscape is dusted with frost and snow.
But there is more hiking here than just Pen-y-Fan; an online search will reward you with many options, including Sugar Loaf in Monmouthshire and the four waterfalls walk which starts in Porth yr Ogof.
The Black Mountain Pass
One of the most scenic drives in Wales, this epic mountain road of Top Gear fame gives unrivalled views of the surrounding valleys and mountains, and enough hairpin bends and switchbacks to satisfy any dangerous road enthusiast. For the best experience, drive the A4069 road from north to south. Starting in Llandovery, the pass snakes between breathtaking viewpoints as you cross the twin humps of Pont Aber and Herbert’s Pass, before descending to the village of Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen.
Be aware that sheep will cross the road indiscriminately – not uncommon for roads in Wales! It is known that mobile speed cameras are sometimes along the route in objects such as horse boxes or small trucks. Since its exposure by Jeremy Clarkson, the route has become incredibly popular – save this one for a weekday if you can.
