Me and the missus have been talking about holidays next year and I think we've decided to see a bit of our own country rather than going abroad. We're hopefully going to do this in a few parts, but one aspect will be a driving holiday. A rough plan is drive up the West side (possibly via Wales) as far as Manchester, spend a bit of time in the Peak District (as neither of us have been there) and drive back down the East (ish) side via Peterborough.
If all goes to plan it will coincide nicely with ownership of an 'interesting' car so we'll be staying clear of motorways where possible and chosing the more interesting routes. So, we'll be passing through some of your back gardens (I think), so I'd like some input into decent driving roads, either in terms of fun to drive or in terms of amazing scenery (hopefully mostly with both).
I've driven the Brecon Beacons a few times (including yesterday!) and wouldn't mind going via the eastern edge if there's anything good there. Also considered Snowdonia, but I think that'll be too much of a detour into Wales to be feasible. In the Peaks I'd like to do Snake Pass as that looks good and I believe it's been mentioned here a few times. But does anyone know what the Snake Pass Inn is like for B&B. In fact is there any little B&Bs / campsites out in the middle of no-where you could recommend?
All ideas welcome as we want to start planning now in order to book places to stay as we have to do it in a school holiday.
