Along the way, conquer the UK’s highest peak, Ben Nevis, sample award-winning Isle of Harris gin, relax in local pubs, and kayak along the Caribbean-blue waters of Scotland’s rugged coastline – all while soaking in the country’s wild beauty.

Self-Drive Wales Road Trips 

Home to many of the UK’s most unspoilt landscapes, Wales is the perfect place for a road trip. You can set off on a Bucket List Weekender and tick off one bucket list adventure after the next in just one weekend. Zoom along the world’s fastest zipline, e-foil along the famous Menai Strait and visit the legendary Conwy Castle, handiwork of King Edward I. 

For pure adventure, set off on a 36 Hour Road Trip Adventure. You can go wild camping, hike into stunning Snowdonia National Park at sunset and abseil down the sheer wall of a limestone quarry – all within your limited time frame.

For family fun, a Family Adventure Holiday lets you share exciting experiences together at your own pace. Go canyoning through hidden river gorges, coasteering along Anglesey’s coastline and whitewater rafting on the Tryweryn River.

If walking is your thing, go on a hiking road trip in Snowdonia. You can tackle epic peaks, discover stunning lakes and navigate scenic mountain passes while exploring some of the most beautiful landscapes in the UK. 

For those who love wildlife and history, a Welsh Wildlife and Italian Style Road Trip offers the chance to explore North Wales’ rich biodiversity and architecture. Visit ancient castles, spot coastal wildlife along the Menai Strait and visit the UK’s very own Italian Riviera.
