You've done the great American road trip. You've logged the miles behind the windshield, filling up at mom and pop roadside fruit stands and getting that all-important Mt. Rushmore selfie. So what's next for the road warrior?

Why not slide on over to the other side of the car and give a UK road trip a shot? The fascinating geography of the United Kingdom gives you some surprisingly varied terrain across a relatively short distance. Plus, there's the extra challenge of doing the whole thing on the other side of both the car and the road.
