Revealed: Britain's most scenic routes - does your favourite Sunday drive make the list?
But the Lake District and the Scottish Highlands have been crowned as the nation's most breathtaking driving routes.
The journey from Kendal to Keswick in Cumbria, which boasts glorious views of the Lakeland fells and the banks of Windermere, is the most beautiful drive in the country, according to research.
A study by car manufacturer Isuzu UK found that 30 per cent of drivers ranked the 30-mile drive along the A591 in the Lake District as the most scenic in the country.
It was closely followed by the peaceful roads from Loch Lomond to Glencoe in the Scottish Highlands.
Some 29 per cent of the 2,000 drivers polled said the journey, which takes in the stunning Argyll Forest Park, Loch Tulla, and Loch Ba, was the most breathtaking in Britain.
The historic Coastal Way in Wales came in third place with 23 per cent of votes.
While the winding road through Cheddar Gorge in Somerset and the journey around the New Forest in Hampshire completed the top five with 21 per cent and 20 per cent of the votes respectively.
The quieter Western Loop in the Lake District through Eskdale, Wast Water, and Buttermere, featuring serene lakes and stunning fell views, was ranked sixth with 18 per cent.
It was followed by the Snake Pass in the Pennines in Derbyshire and Yorkshire Dales Circular in North Yorkshire which both received 18 per cent of the votes.
And the Cotswolds Romantic Road across Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire and Llanberis Pass in Snowdonia, Wales, were ranked ninth and tenth with a 15 per cent share each.
The research also found that 92 per cent of Brits think the UK has some of the best road trips in the world with two thirds insisting a staycation can be more enjoyable than a holiday abroad.
George Wallis, head of marketing at Isuzu UK, said: 'It's fantastic to see just how much Brits appreciate the incredible scenery we have right here at home, with routes like Kendal to Keswick and Loch Lomond to Glencoe topping the list.

Simon Calder's six ways to fix Britain's broken rail fare system
Everyone seems to be talking about rail fares. The excitement is due to the third Wednesday in August traditionally being Act One of the annual festival of rail fare misery. The publication of the retail prices index figure for July has long heralded an outpouring of despair. That is because train tickets normally increase in line with last month's retail prices index (RPI), or sometimes 1 per cent more. Act Two usually takes place in November, when the rail industry confirms the worst fears of the travelling public. Anyone with a calculator and a bit of time could have worked out the actual fare rises during the previous three months. But there is fresh shock when they are published. For example, a 3.6 per cent rise for 2026 would see the price of a one-way Anytime ticket from Manchester to London rise to exactly £200, and a monthly season ticket from Bristol to Cardiff hit £400. The last act is performed on the day the rises take effect. Platoons of camera crews converge on a London rail terminal – usually Euston or King's Cross, due to the abundance of coffee facilities as well as fed-up commuters to 'vox pop'. The finale is the same every year: an unharmonious chorus of condemnation which goes, approximately, 'Why should we pay even more for unreliable trains that are standing-room only?' Ministers hint this cycle is different: that there is nothing special about the July figure that suggests it will define the fare rise early in 2026. 'No decisions have been made on next year's rail fares,' a spokesperson for the Department for Transport (DfT) told me. 'But our aim is that prices balance affordability for both passengers and taxpayers.' Allow me to add a couple of lines that have unaccountably been left out of the DfT statement: 'The way to rescue the railway and reduce the astonishing subsidy of £400 per second taxpayers pump in is to entice more people on board. 'Prospective passengers find the tangle of ticketing highly confusing and suspect they are being ripped off. In addition, the way we distribute tickets loses a chunk of revenue. So we are finally going to overhaul the ticketing system, as every government this century has promised to do.' With the railway celebrating 200 years next month, you might have thought we would sort out ticketing in that time. We haven't. Happily, I am here to help with this quest, with my top six recommendations. How many do I expect the government to adopt? Zero. I hope I am wrong. Go 100 per cent digital 'We have to provide tickets in whatever form the passenger prefers: paper from a machine or ticket office, or an e-ticket.' No you don't. Follow the airlines. Saves a fortune. That vital QR code ticket can always be in paper form, perhaps printed at helpdesks at stations, but very quickly the travelling public will adapt. Especially if they sense someone is actually thinking about their journey. Show you understand the passenger To make life easier for long-suffering passengers, the railway could deploy some logic in its online offering. I estimate that 99.9 per cent of all passengers from Swansea who tap 'C-A-R' into the National Rail website are keen to travel to Cardiff Central. Yet this is the seventh choice in a long list. The top three destinations offered: Carlisle in the far northwest of England; the tiny halt of Carbis Bay in north Cornwall; and Cardenden in Fife. The one in a million passenger who actually wants to go from Swansea to beautiful Carbis Bay will cope. Tie every ticket to a particular train On Wednesday I am travelling from Manchester to Preston. I don't know which train I will catch, but I do know that Northern Rail (state owned, by the way) will offer me a reasonable and appropriate Advance fare, up to a few minutes before departure, as I walk to the station. The exact price is calibrated by algorithms according to expected demand, just like the low-cost airlines that have transformed aviation to everyone's benefit. Opportunity for fare dodging will shrink, helping to rescue perhaps half-a-billion pounds of lost revenue. And if sensible fares are offered, the practice of splitting tickets simply vanishes. Many long-in-the-tooth rail users (probably including me) will complain about a lack of flexibility. Tough: allowing a ridiculous range of options to get from A to B – such as London-Manchester via Leicester and Sheffield or Reading and Oxford – is just not relevant for most passengers. Remind the old groaners that delay repay (compensation for late journeys) will be handed out instantly under the new system, refunded back to the payment method. Intercity optimisation Imagine asking British Airways: 'What is the fare from London Heathrow to Glasgow?' BA's revenue management team – who squeeze the maximum cash out of every passenger while simultaneously trying to fill every seat – would look blankly at you. Then they might shrug and say: 'It's whatever the market will bear.' On Thursday, a peak demand day, BA's answer is anywhere between £159 and £323. On other days, it might be as low as £50 for people who commit in advance and as high as £500 for those desperate to travel at two hours' notice. Rail revenue managers should have the same freedom, rather than saying: 'The most you will ever pay between London and Glasgow, however many people want to travel, is £205.' Railcard revolution Either remove railcard discounts – which would be deeply unpopular – or do as the Swiss do, and allow anyone to buy a railcard. That will help those disenfranchised people aged between 31 and 59 who don't particularly want to travel with a specified Other Person or an annoying child aged 5-15. Will overall revenue rise? Who knows? The best way to find out is to try it, and then have the guts to retract it should the plan prove 'abstractive' (railway term for losing revenue). Stand-up standbys LNER, the state-run main operator on the East Coast Main Line, has an annoying habit of claiming its trains are full. Friday's departures from Edinburgh to York between 8am and 1pm are all shown as 'not available'. This is tosh, because anyone who knows how to work the system (you pretend you want to start your journey from nearby Haymarket and pay £63.80 for an off-peak ticket) can climb on board and stand if necessary. In Korea the national railway monetises busy trains by selling standing tickets at around half-price – with the standee able to sit down if there's an empty seat.

Inflation hits highest level since January 2024
UK Consumer Prices Index (CPI) inflation rose to 3.8% in July, up from 3.6% in June, surpassing most economists' forecasts of 3.7%. Transport was the main contributor to the inflation increase, primarily driven by a 30.2% surge in air fares between June and July, the largest monthly rise since 2001. Petrol and diesel prices also increased in July, contrasting with a decline during the same period last year. Food and drink inflation continued its upward trend for the fourth consecutive month, reaching 4.9% in July from 4.5% in June. Chancellor Rachel Reeves acknowledged that further measures are required to alleviate the cost of living pressures on households.
