Nothing improves a road like the sea beside it. Five drives where the coast does the work.
Belfast to Portrush with the A2 pinned between the Antrim glens and the sea, finishing at the Giant's Causeway. Regularly ranked among the world's great drives and somehow still underrated. The full route makes a perfect one-day epic.
Porlock Hill's 1-in-4 hairpins, then high above the Bristol Channel to Lynmouth. Sea one side, moor the other. Our Coast and Moor loop brings you back over the tops past the ponies.
England's white-cliff drive: out of Eastbourne, past the lighthouse, tea at Birling Gap. Short, spectacular and perfect for a summer evening. The loop from Eastbourne takes under two hours with stops.
The stretch from Applecross to Durness is the best 200 miles of coast in Britain. If five days is too many, just drive this part of the North Coast 500 and keep the rest for next year.
Aberdaron, whistling sands and lanes that end in beaches. No single famous road; the whole peninsula is the point.
