The busiest road during summer holidays revealed - as major 55-mile motorway tops the list
Many will drive to their destination during the six-week holidays.
From cramming cases and little ones into the car and heading to the airport, to hitting the road and spending time along the coast, plenty of people will be behind the wheel.
However, be prepared for some hurdles along the way in the form of dreaded traffic.
Welcome Break has revealed the roads that are most likely to be heaving with cars this summer.
These are the roads that are set to be the busiest in July and August.
1. M11 in London / Hertfordshire
A major motorway, the M11 is often used by travellers heading to and from the East of England.
It's a perfect route for those jetting off on holiday from Stansted Airport, but be prepared for traffic as this road takes the number one spot on the list.
2. M40 in Oxfordshire
Families may take this route when driving through the heart of the country between London and Birmingham.
However, at number two it's expected to be busy with lots of other cars taking the same trip, both northbound and southbound.
3. M3 in Hampshire
The M3 stretches across the south-west of the country and is a popular route for those hoping to enjoy the British seaside to make their way along the south coast.
Be prepared, however, to face traffic along the way as Welcome Break places it third on the list.
4. M40 in Warwickshire
A major motorway in the UK and a common route for those heading to the idyllic Cotswolds for a holiday, the M40 is set to be busy this summer.
5. M25 in the Home Counties
Located close to London, it's used for those wanting to escape the city for the summer and others wanting to embrace it.
Holidaymakers can expect busy traffic on the M25 during the summer, and should be prepared to wait in long queues as they make their way to their destination.

Smugglers' adventures: All the fun of the fair (and fresh air) at the seaside in Hastings
Is it possible to cope as a single parent in charge of three children for an entire weekend? And, what's more – to actually have fun while doing it? This was the challenge I set myself when I decided to take my eight-year-old son, my 13-year-old daughter and her best friend, who's also 13, away to the seaside. We decided to escape London's sticky heatwave for somewhere with a sea breeze and plenty of cold water to cool off in. Hastings, which I'd never been to before, seemed the perfect choice. Not only is there an ancient castle for the history buffs (that's me), there's penny arcades, a funfair, an aquarium and the crowning glory: a smugglers' adventure – that's dark caves carved out of rock with actual ghosts (apparently). Talk about spooky! Setting sail We were due to 'set sail' (metaphorically) from Charing Cross station at 10.15am – on 'a proper train' as my son described it, staring back at the cramped London Underground we'd just left behind. He was right to be pleased: once we were moving, Hastings-bound – with 15 packets of crisps, seven orange juices, what felt like 500 bags of sweets and my Family & Friends Railcard all displayed proudly on the train table like an artwork – the journey to the coast became part of the adventure. Where else can you spot world-famous landmarks from the comfort of your train seat? We saw the London Eye, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, the Thames and Southwark Cathedral before anyone had even munched their way through a single snack.

Image 1 of 4 The girls settled into watching a movie on their iPads, my son was playing a game and I actually read a book – the last time I'd read a book was probably before I had the children. In fact, this journey was so revelatory that I don't think I will ever drive again. It's all about taking trains, now. I was so relaxed, it felt like being on a spa day. Where else can you spot world-famous landmarks from the comfort of your seat? We saw the London Eye, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, the Thames and Southwark Cathedral before anyone had munched a single snack. Just an hour-and-a-half later, we arrived in Hastings and navigated our way to our guesthouse: Ruby's Rooms – an arty space just 10 minutes from the town centre. We had the entire ground floor sea-view apartment, with a continental breakfast included, free Wi-Fi and just a 30-second walk to the beach. What a win. Sea life We'd been in the apartment for five minutes, when the kids started whining about having to get into the sea IMMEDIATELY. Beach towels borrowed from Kate at Ruby's Rooms, we headed for the shore, where the children did something utterly unthinkable: they got straight in the sea. It takes me at least an hour to work up the nerve but they were straight in and under. Unbelievable. Once they were out and I could stop anxiously hovering in the shallows worrying about them, I laid my towel on the pebbles and closed my eyes, feeling like I was in Marbella. Hot sun, salt in the air, the girls making silly TikTok videos and my son burying himself in rocks. Everything was dreamy. Even better, was getting an ice cream from one of the many artisanal ice cream shops along the parade. Black treacle flavour with a black charcoal waffle cone? My goth heart was sated! The kids scoffed a weird combo of pistachio, peppermint and bubblegum ice-cream as we tackled an incredibly steep hill on the way to the 'Smugglers' Adventure. They were enjoying themselves so much – I didn't hear a single moan from them. RDG HASTINGS TWO Carousel with one slide shown at a time. Use the Previous and Next buttons to navigate between slides. Once we we got to Smugglers' Adventure however, there was plenty of moaning. It was all ghostly though – so much that my son wrapped himself around my leg like a baby koala as soon as the eerie voice of Hairy Jack – a smuggler from the past, doubling as our tour guide ghost – boomed through the dark caverns. We had a lot of fun attempting to hoist an anchor and shouting 'boo!' at the waxworks. I laid my towel on the pebbles and closed my eyes, feeling like I was in Marbella. Hot sun, salt in the air, the girls making silly TikTok videos and my son burying himself in rocks. Everything was dreamy. Ahoy! It was time for pizza! I'd read about the 'best pizza in Hastings' online – and despite fierce competition, opted for Monellis sourdough gourmet pizza on George Street – and boy, was it worth it – if a little spicy! After another ice-cream for the walk home to cool our mouths down, we fell into the penny arcades, where we spent far too much money trying to win a dinosaur toy on the 2p slot machines. Historical Hastings The next morning, it was off to a castle to learn about history – I ignored the laments of, 'Do we have to?' And won them round by telling them about the Battle of Hastings in 1066, which I still remember even though I'm ancient. 10/10 for Mum. They got even more enthusiastic when I reminded them that according to the Bayeux Tapestry, King Harold was killed at the Battle of Hastings by being shot in the eye with an arrow. Grisly. If there's one thing I'm learning about my children, this weekend, is that they are weird, wonderful – and grisly. So, off we headed up the very steep hill, into the castle entrance, and straight into the dungeons. RDG HASTINGS THREE Carousel with one slide shown at a time. Use the Previous and Next buttons to navigate between slides. Image 1 of 4 They were a welcome break from the heat (that steep hill in 28-degree heat, carrying everyone's bags wasn't pleasant). I considered asking the man behind the counter if he would lock the kids up in the dungeons for a couple of hours, but sadly he looked too busy. Shame. Instead, we did what everyone should do when looking at the ruins of an ancient castle – cartwheels – as well as a comedy 'jump shot' through an archway; and marvelled at the genuinely stunning panoramic views. We could see right out across the bay; we could see people sailing, swimming – we could even see France, right there on the horizon, through the haze. C'est magnifique. It would be all too easy to lose track of time, but thankfully, I had a FitBit which told me we'd already done 26,000 steps (that would be the steep hill) – and our feet were aching, so we decided to grab the super-cute funicular railway lift back down the cliff to the old town. It was built in 1902, I told them. 'Was that when you were born?' my son said. Thank you, thank you… We did what everyone should do when looking at the ruins of an ancient castle – cartwheels – as well as a comedy 'jump shot' through an archway; and marvelled at the stunning panoramic views. We were really going for it now, trying to fit everything in during our final precious hours, so we made a pit-stop at the aquarium to see some cool sharks, wandered along the seafront where we discovered a truly gigantic anchor, had an incredible fish and chips meal at Maggie's and still had time for another ice-cream and a spot of shopping, before it was time to get the train home. We slumped tired but happy into our seats, knowing we could relax after all the action. What did I learn? Children are the best travel companions – funny, frank, eye-wateringly honest when something is going well… and when it isn't. They don't fake anything – when they're having fun, you know about it – and those are the sweetest moments of all. And as a bonus, Hairy Jack and the dungeons have given me great reasons to make them do their homework… Enjoy great value British adventures by train From stunning nature and the great outdoors, to culture, cuisine and incredible scenery, there's no doubt Britain has it all in spades, and these unmissable adventures are just a simple, enjoyable train ride away.

Young Whitchurch boxers hike raises £17k for club minibus
A group of young boxers have raised £17,000 for a new club minibus by walking 89 miles in four group, from Fort Boxing Club in Whitchurch, trekked close to Hadrian's Wall near the Scottish club said it urgently needed the new minibus to provide the boxers with training and educational opportunities - it would help them to travel across the country for various events and competitions."The kids did absolutely amazing I couldn't be more proud of them," said coach Dan Bailey. "It was a challenge, and I don't think they quite actually knew what they were going to be up against."They camped between each day - a first for some of the young people involved. The team's first leg was 22 miles, day two saw them walk 19 miles, while day three was their most challenging."We were trying to aim for 16 to 19 minute miles, so the third day was a 13-miler," said Mr Bailey."We managed to do the 13 miles in just under four hours."The last day saw them on their feet for 34 miles."We were hiking for 15 hours, and then in the last four miles our bodies were switching off," he said."It just brought everyone's true characters and qualities out, and it was amazing to see such young people be able to take themselves out of their comfort zones."Not one of them ever said they couldn't do it and they didn't want to do it."

Access to train platforms from footbridge to be cut
Access to train platforms from a footbridge at Nottingham railway station will be closed for 11 hours a day. East Midlands Railway (EMR) said from 18 August, access to platforms via a footbridge through the station would be restricted between 19:00 and 06:00 using gates. The bridge over the rail lines provides a public right of way between Queen's Road and Station Street, but also allowed access to station platforms without using a ticketing gate. EMR said it expects restricting access to the platforms via the bridge will reduce fare evasion, improve safety and deter vandalism. The move follows a three-week trial in November which EMR said showed ticketless travel by passengers using the footbridge was costing up to £1.1m a year in lost added the pilot scheme also showed 63% of violent and antisocial behaviour at the station occurred between 19:00 and 06:00. The new restricted hours for the bridge will replace the current window, from 23:00 to 05:00. From August 18, people will have to go through the ticket gates from the main station concourse to access platforms between 19:00 and 06:00 each bridge will remain a public right of way between Station Street and Queen's Road during all hours. EMR said it would retain the ability to open during major events, times of crowding, or in response to emergencies and would continue to monitor "station usage patterns and behaviour" Cresswell, customer experience director at EMR, said: "By refining access during these hours, we are not only tackling fare evasion and reducing costs for taxpayers but also creating a more secure and pleasant environment for customers and colleagues alike."
