3. Peak District, England
The UK’s first national park is worth your time at the wheel for any number of reasons. Think about limestone plateaux, deep caverns, fully coloured-in heather moorlands and cosy pubs connected by screw-shaped roads that offer every sort of car rally thrill. Buxton, with its spa history and graceful heritage buildings, is the ideal starter, before you head east to Bakewell, for puddings and tarts. Once full to the brim, push north to ogle the underground jewels at Peak Cavern and Blue John Cavern. Bring a daypack for a hike – try Mam Tor for lung-emptying views – then tighten your seatbelt for the heartstring-plucking ride over thrilling Snake Pass to Glossop.
