A Stopover at Keswick is a must for a genuinely authentic Lake District experience. It is a market town where Beatrix Potter is known to have drawn inspiration from and given the breathtaking mountain and river surroundings, it’s easy to see why.

  1. Stratford-upon-Avon

Stratford-upon-Avon, home to undoubtedly Britain’s greatest playwright, William Shakespeare, is a fantastic pick for theatre enthusiasts. It is a historic market town in England’s West Midlands with an “Old England” ambiance owing to the Tudor-style buildings that line the main streets.

This, however, is not all that the town has to offer. Another bucket list-worthy thing in this town is the Stratford Town Ghost Walk. Discover Stratford’s most haunted places, from theatre ghosts to witches, on a the infamous tour, that takes place every Saturday evening.

  1. Isle of Skye

Skye is full of history. History buffs can spend their time learning about clan feuds, Jacobite wars, and the destruction of crofting communities during the Highland Clearances. The local myths and tales, along with the allure of nature, make the island appear to be surreal.

  1. The Cornish Riviera

For millennia, the world’s third deepest natural port welcomed commercial and military vessels, and in the last 70 years, it witnessed historic departures, including D-Day troops destined for Normandy. The “Cornish Riviera” refers to the stretch of south Cornwall between Gribben Head to Black Head, which encompasses St Austell Bay and the towns and beaches on each side. St. Agnes, a picturesque and bustling community on Cornwall’s north coast, has some of the nicest beaches in the county, making it one of the best places to drive in Cornwall. Furthermore, with the Cornish Riviera being accommodating to almost any vehicle imaginable, you’ll be able to easily park your motorhome or camper in several places.

  1. Forest of Dean

 The Forest of Dean, in the Cotswolds, is full of forested hillsides, rocky outcrops, and pristine villages. This ancient forest has seen numerous transformations over the decades, from a royal hunting forest in mediaeval times to a source of timber for the navy’s Tudor warships. It had become a major industrial hub by the Victorian era, with coal mining and tramways scattering the landscape. The breath-taking landscapes and spectacular scenery, bordered on the southeast by the River Severn and on the southwest by the river Wye, has over the years inspired numerous artists, craftspeople, inventors, poets, and playwrights, as well as the countless visitors who year after year find their way back.

  1. The Cambrian Way

The Cambrian Way is a 185-mile-long (300-kilometre-long) journey from coast to coast along Wales’ hilly ridge. It is one of three iconic routes on the Wales Way, connecting the Victorian town of Llandudno to the capital city of Cardiff, slithering its way through two National Parks, Snowdonia, and the Brecon Beacons, with the Cambrian Mountains in between. One this route, you can explore the charming villages as well as engage in the thrilling zip-lining and underground activities. In addition, there are long-distance walking, cycling, and horseback riding paths that connect with the Wales Coast Path and Offa’s Dyke Path.

  1. North Coast 500

The North Coast 500 is among the world’s most spectacular road trips. It covers a little over 500 miles (516 to be exact), extends from Inverness Castle, and leads through the Scottish Highlands and their unmatched coastal scenery, white sand beaches, Rocky Mountains, isolated fishing settlements, and hidden gems, offering a wealth of incredible experiences. Here you can travel through the ‘Black Isle,’ enjoy a romantic vacation at Easter Ross, and spend time exploring ‘Sutherland,’ Europe’s last big wilderness. As an added benefit, it can also be a rather inexpensive trip, given that wild camping is completely legal in Scotland.
