Somerset
Daring drivers will enjoy the roads that run through Somerset. While there, you can also visit a nature reserve or go on a wildlife safari. And because there are activities for people of all ages, you can travel with the entire family and never get bored.
One of the adventurous things that you can do in Somerset is spend the afternoon checking out the caves of Cheddar Gorge. Then get back on the scenic roads, which are full of unexpected and exciting twists and turns to get your adrenaline pumping.
Oxford
Oxford is a really unique destination that blends classic English architecture with Oxford University, which is one of the most popular and modern universities on the planet. The town is definitely a tourist attraction, so expect plenty of people there exploring it alongside you.
This town’s atmosphere is a combination of bustling and laidback, and there are also plenty of students there to keep it youthful and fun. Parking in the town is difficult so, to ensure you can find a place to park your car when you get there, you should reserve your parking space ahead of time.
Gloucestershire and Other Towns in the Cotswolds
If you’re looking for a place that is known for its extraordinary natural beauty, you must visit the Cotswolds. Drive along the incredible Cotswolds Hills and then spend an afternoon marvelling at the gorgeous scenery in Gloucestershire. The village of Broadway is a great place to stop for some food, where you can enjoy locally sourced produce for authentic British flavours.
Wiltshire
Head over to Wiltshire to see the world famous ancient monument and mystery that is Stonehenge. Check out this amazing landmark yourself or take a guided tour that will teach you about its structure and what little is known about it. Tickets can be found at the English Heritage website.
London
No list of UK road trip destinations would be complete without mentioning the amazing city of London, where there really is something for everyone to do and see. There, you will find loads of restaurants, bars, and shops, so you can rest up, eat plenty of delicious foods, and purchase some souvenirs to remember your journey.
Beyond eating and shopping, though, London also offers plenty of attractions for tourists, including beautiful parks and breathtaking architecture. Because it’s so busy, though, you should reserve your parking spot before you arrive there as well.
With so many great UK cities to visit during your next road trip, you shouldn’t find it difficult at all to find places to see and things to do.
