Camping Road Trips: UK showcases a personal selection of 30 road trips
throughout the UK and Jersey (Channel Islands), all suitable for
recreational vehicles (RVs), long-distance cyclists and any other road
user who likes camping. All have been handpicked by experienced travel
writer Caroline Mills, who has over 20 years' experience of camping and
RVs.Whether a novice camper or experienced road-tripper, a solo
adventurer or family group, these self-guided tours provide inspiration
to slowly and intensively explore a region of Britain. There are routes
of all distances, from weekends covering no more than 20 miles to routes
of 500 miles and more for those enjoying a longer holiday - all while
overnighting in some of Britain's most beautiful locations.Collectively
the routes explore some of the UK's very best scenery - from coastal
views and mountains, forests and national parks, vineyards, lakesides
and riverbanks, to pastoral idylls, wilderness and vibrant cities
brimming with architectural heritage. They follow rural lanes, mountain
roads with cautiously exciting hairpin bends, national A-roads of
historic note and the odd official touring route such as Scotland's
famous North Coast 500. Routes allow time to explore unexpected
destinations, while well-known places are here visited out-of-season to
avoid congestion and encourage year-round camping.Many routes are
themed, helping readers enjoy a region's food and drink, discover its
gardens, or visit historic and cultural sites such as Lincolnshire's
aviation history. Many encourage 'slow travel' activities like walking
or cycling. You can explore Teesdale's traditional hay meadows and
wildflowers on foot, let your tastebuds roam around England's
increasingly influential sparkling-wine industry, discover the beauty of
Northern Ireland's ancient Kingdom of Mourne, stay at a tea plantation
on Dartmoor, or view Dover's famous White Cliffs from a rib.Camping Road
Trips: Britain is written in a highly personal style, based upon the
author's own travels - typically as a solo female or with her three
children - and is designed to entice readers to explore a region further
at their own pace, taking in their own interests to produce a relaxing
and rewarding holiday.
