The fabulous Causeway Coastal Route in Co Antrim has been recognised as one of the most scenic road routes in Britain.
The spectacular drive came fourth in the latest Europcar Mobility Group UK drivers’ survey.
Keith O’Hara, founder of The Irish Road Trip, said: “It’s no great surprise that the Antrim Coast ranked in the top half of this survey.
“Spanning 185 km (115 miles), the Causeway Coastal Route provides what will be an unforgettable adventure, taking in majestic cliffs, pristine beaches, vibrant towns and villages, and a treasure trove of historical sites, all beckoning to be explored.”
The top three scenic driving routes were, The North Coast 500 in Scotland; the Kendal to Keswick route in the Lake District; and the ‘Cat and Fiddle’ Buxton to Macclesfield route in the Peak District.
Sarah Clarke, Consumer Marketing Manager for Europcar Mobility Group UK commented: “It can be easy to forget the incredible landscapes and scenery we have right here on our little islands, in favour of more exotic destinations and famous landmarks.

“But those planning a staycation won’t be disappointed if they take in any of these routes on their next UK break.
Stops along the routes include wonderful local pubs, dramatic caves, idyllic beaches and so much more. And if you hire a car from Europcar, it takes the pressure off ensuring your own car is fit to travel the distance and avoids adding to the mileage clock too.”
