For road trip ideas these trips are hard to beat
01
ICELAND

Games of Thrones fans will love to take driving Iceland’s Ring Road that lets you circumnavigate the country. Around every corner you’ll spy toasty hot springs, fairy-tale waterfalls and cuddly Icelandic ponies. Along the way you can take in Thingvellir National Park, Gulfoss Waterfall and the black sand beach of Reynisfjara. Added perks include being able to see the Northern Lights and whales making a splash offshore.

CALIFORNIA

For the ultimate American road trip, head down to the Pacific Coast Highway. With this 13-day holiday you can enjoy nature, culture and a little adventure. Land in San Francisco and start with a trip to Alcatraz, then head to Napa Valley for your gourmet fix, before you spend the night glamping in Yosemite National Park. Then clock up the miles cruising down the Big Sur coastline and spy whales and seals en route. Even with all the photo ops, you should still be able to arrive in Los Angeles and squeeze in a bike ride along Malibu beach before you fly home.
