Britain's scenic drives

Take to the road

There's no denying that when you're behind the wheel of your car, it's sometimes a pleasure to take the scenic route: to drive along a route that gives great views or is a bit of a rollercoaster ride, just for the fun of it. And if the weather's terrible, or for people with limited mobility, it's a great way to enjoy the great outdoors.

Although, of course, for the sake of the environment, don't do it too often - and don't forget that you can park up and go for a walk, or find the perfect place for your picnic.

So, mirror, signal, manoeuvre - off we go on our tour of Britain's scenic drives...
