Britons are increasingly choosing driving holidays at home, with scenic UK routes gaining attention as an alternative to costly flights and crowded airports. The latest round-up of favourite road trips points to strong demand for staycations built around dramatic coastlines, rural landscapes and historic towns.
Among the standout journeys are a Scottish drive compared to Route 66 and the ever-popular Jurassic Coast. Together, they reflect the kind of trips many travellers now want: flexible breaks with memorable views, easy stop-offs and a chance to see more of Britain at their own pace.
The appeal is especially clear for weekend escapes and summer holidays, when a car journey can double as part of the experience rather than just the way to reach a destination. Routes that combine scenery, heritage and charming places to pause along the way are proving particularly attractive.
With more holidaymakers looking closer to home, Britain's best-loved road trips are emerging as a practical and picturesque option. From rugged Scottish stretches to southern coastal scenery, these drives show why the open road remains a strong draw for domestic travel.
