The North Yorkshire Moors has been named one of the UK's top 5 road trips but the road to Whitby is favoured more by one generation.
In a survey of 1250 UK drivers the North Yorkshire Moors came out as the 5th best road trip in the country.
The survey by fuel brand JET found that the Lake District was the nations most loved driving destination with just over one-fifth (22%) voting for the Cumbrian national park as their favourite road trip location with 56% voting it into their top three.
The stunning drive from Devon to Cornwall, ranked in second place this year with The Peak District taking third place. Other popular road trip destinations include: the North Coast 500, North Yorkshire Moors/Road to Whitby and The Cotswolds.
The UK’s Top Ten Road Trips
- The Lake District
- Devon to Cornwall
- Peak District
- North Coast 500
- North Yorkshire Moors/Road to Whitby
- Cotswolds Roads
- Stone Henge/Cotswolds
- Snowdonia to Anglesey
- Scottish Borders between Northumberland and Edinburgh
- Norfolk Coast
And while all drivers, across all age groups were unanimous in their top choice of the Lake District, there was less agreement when it came to other favoured UK road trips. 18–24-year-olds selected Devon to Cornwall as their second choice with The Peak District, Stone Henge/Cotswolds and North Coast 500, as their next most popular locations.
In contrast, the over 65s voted for an arguably more adventurous mix with the North Coast 500 as their second pick, the North Yorkshire Moors in third, Devon to Cornwall fourth and Snowdonia to Anglesey in fifth place.
