ESCAPE ROUTES
You can start your getaway from any of our four bases around the country.
These locations across the UK are the jumping off point for some great getaways. We’ve put together a series of Escape Routes at each location that you can tailor for your break – to suit how far you want to go, where you want to stay and for how long. They’re all about great roads, great scenery and great destinations.
You decide the car you want to drive, which of our bases you want to start from and the area you want the route to be in and we'll build a route around your interests - country houses perhaps or beautiful scenery, exciting activities or fine restaurants. Our bases are:
The Cotswolds
Our base in the Cotwolds is just a few miles from Stratford upon Avon and provides a great starting point for three of our routes:
A superb route around some of Britain’s best known landmarks. Stonehence, Bath, Ludlow, Warwick, Stratford Upon Avon and Oxford form a perfect circle that by sheer chance also includes some excellent driving roads - and you can really make the most of them in a classic car! - click for more info
Wales has got some of Britain’s best driving roads. Snaking B-roads or broad A-roads, our hand-picked Welsh routes will challenge your driving skills - click for more info
The Cotswolds are popular for one very good reason – they’re beautiful - it's one of the reasosn we choose this area as a base. Honey stone cottages, rolling hills and horses combine to create a chocolate box landscape that is almost too English to believe - click for more info
East Midlands
Our East Midlands site is easy to get to – and perfect for accessing some great and varied countryside. Whether you head east towards the coast or west towards the Peak District, a great getaway lies ahead.
East Midlands
The driving roads of the Peak District are glorious, the scenery stunning and the towns and villages as pretty as they are welcoming. This area is a fantastic place to enjoy driving - and the pub lunches aren't too shoddy either!
Suffolk
Our base in Suffolk is a few miles from Stowmarket. The local countryside provides some great driving roads and the unspoilt coastline and picture postcard towns and villages make Suffolk the perfect place to enjoy a classic road trip.
Many people make the mistake of dismissing East Anglia as flat – all the better for those who make the trip because it remains quiet and unspoilt. Visitors discover that Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire are all about big scenery – expansive views and vast, unspoilt beaches - click for more info

Whether it's the Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire Moors or the dramatic Yorkshire coastline the views are stunning, the roads challanging and the countryside unspolit.
