Lonely Planet Great Britain Road Trips

For Anyone Who Thinks the Best Adventures Start With a Full Tank and No Particular Hurry

Sometimes the journey really is the best bit.

Lonely Planet Great Britain Road Trips is packed with 36 brilliant driving adventures across England, Scotland and Wales, from easy three-day escapes to glorious three-week adventures that might have you seriously reconsidering the journey home.

Wind your way through the mountains of Snowdonia, head north into the wild landscapes of the Scottish Highlands, follow beautiful stretches of coastline, discover tiny villages, ancient castles and iconic landmarks — with plenty of worthwhile detours along the way.

Alongside Britain's best-known touring routes, you'll find lesser-travelled roads and hidden corners that provide the perfect excuse to turn off the sat nav and see where the road takes you.

Each itinerary comes with full-colour route maps, easy-to-follow directions, places worth stopping for and practical travel advice, along with Lonely Planet's recommendations for things to see, eat and do along the way.

Whether you're plotting a spontaneous weekend away, planning a family adventure, loading up the campervan or contemplating a rather more ambitious escape, there's a route to inspire your next trip.

Keep it in the car alongside the sunglasses, walking boots and emergency snacks.

You never know when a weekend might suddenly require an adventure.
