Discover the Best UK Road Trips to Enjoy During the Easter Holidays - News

Easter is the perfect time to explore our great country and the United Kingdom has some stunning road trips right on our doorstep.

So, forget sitting on the M25, M1, M5 or M6 for hours without moving, instead enjoy the open road with awesome views and spectacular sights.

These are our 'fantastic five' UK road trips that will reignite a passion for driving without the need to head overseas.

North Coast 500, Scotland

Any list of UK road trips HAS to include this legendary route, starting and ending at Inverness Castle, and stretching more than 500 miles.

It can rightly claim to be one of the world's most beautiful road trips and sights include beaches, coastal scenery, mountains and remote fishing villages.

The North Highland's breathtaking scenery is yours to enjoy, and it's recommended to take your time, so allow five to seven days and soak in Scotland's majestic landscape.

Cotswolds, England

The Cotswolds in south-western and west-central England offers a very different, but no less pleasing, type of beauty.

Picture quaint villages, rolling countryside, golden coloured Cotswold stone cottages, and gentle country lanes.

Places to visit on a Cotswold road trip include Lower Slaughter, Winchcombe, Broadway, Chipping Campden, Moreton-in-Marsh, Stow-on-the-Wold and Bouton-on-the-Water.

Causeway Coastal Route, Northern Ireland

Immerse yourself in a landscape of myths and legends when driving the 115 mile Causeway Coastal Route along the dramatic coastline of Northern Ireland.

Enjoy the route over two days, with highlights including Carrickfergus Castle, The Gobbins, Glenarm Castle, Giant's Causeway and Glenariff Forest Park.

Atlantic Highway, England

Head down to Devon and Cornwall to drive the spectacular Atlantic Highway.

The 70-mile strip of the A39 from Barnstaple to Newquay offers ocean views, a world-famous castle said to be the birthplace of King Arthur, waterfalls, beaches and coastal villages.

Those with a spirit of adventure might want to catch some waves, or take it easy with a Devon tea or Cornish tea.

Eryri, North Wales

Eryri is Wales' largest National Park and home to stunning mountains, lakes and forests.

Places to visit on a memorable road trip include Llyn Tegid, the largest natural lake in Wales, Yr Wyddfa, the highest mountain in the park, and the breathtaking Ogwen valley.
