Get Your Minibus And Drive England’s Most Beautiful Holiday Road Trips

With the cost of train fares and flights going up all the time, particularly when it’s time for a family holiday. In fact, when there’s a big group of people, driving can sometimes be the best way to travel. But cramming you all into one car, or several cars, isn’t a fun experience, and it doesn’t have to be that way. In fact, there are plenty of areas of England that are best seen by road, and what better way to see them than in a nice, spacious minibus? Minibuses are a great way to travel on holiday, particularly if you want to stay in the UK. So, let’s take a look at some of the stunning holiday spots you could see this summer!

The Cotswolds

Rolling hills, endless meadows and quaint historic villages, the Cotswolds are a family favourite for holidays. It’s an easy drive to get there, with some beautiful scenery along the way, and a great place to explore if you’re in a car or a minibus. Once you’ve arrived, you can go for long walks, stop off at village puts, and enjoy country life just a short drive from the capital city.

The Yorkshire Dales

The Yorkshire Dales are known as ‘God’s own country’, and for a very good reason. Full of dramatic landscapes and expanses of untouched greenery, this is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and really breathe. When you’re there, you can choose between peaceful walks, wild landscapes, flowing rivers and waterfalls, charming farms and quaint villages. Dry stone walling is a skill, and you’ll see lots of evidence of it in this part of the world.

The Lake District

Every year families, couples and individuals flock to the lake district to take in the stunning lakeside views. The calm swimming is divine, but there are a lot of scenic hills and road that go through the lake district too that make fantastic driving. While the weather can be a bit hit or miss, it just makes the views all the more exciting. You can also take some fantastic camping trips, with lots of little sites catering to people who want to get away from it all and spend some time swimming and sailing.

Devon & Cornwall

If you fancy a trip down south, you could do a lot worse than the Devon and Cornwall coast. With slightly warmer weather than the rest of the country and some beautiful sandy beaches, there are few places better to get away. You will find a lot of new varieties of trees that just don’t grow anywhere else thanks to the almost tropical climate, and why not visit some of the fishing villages or go cycling in the surrounding countryside?

The Peak District

There’s a clue in the name when it comes to what you can expect from the Peak District. Hilly peaks characterise this area, with the so-called Dark Peak in the north where the moorland can be found, and the White Peak to the south where there are limestone valleys and many of the towns and villages. Driving around the Peak District is a dramatic treat, with spectacular views of a beloved national park.
