Take the Slow Road

A thoroughly updated edition of the ultimate guide to the most scenic routes for camper vans and motorhomes around the valleys, mountains and coastlines of England and Wales

Forget the jet set. Come back down to earth. There is another way to travel, see the world and truly be a part of it. Taking the slow road is about turning your back on the fast lane to make time for people, places and nature. And the best way to do it? In your own home from home, of course – the humble camper van or motorhome.

This book is about the very best driving routes around England and Wales. It’s about the best places to stay, the most delicious things to eat, fun things to do and sights to see and why it’s vital that we experience them truly, madly, responsibly. Come with us as we meander along the most breathtaking roads, chugging up mountain passes and pootling along the coast. You don’t even have to own a camper van or motorhome – full listings of camper and motorhome hire companies in England and Wales are here too.

This second edition has been thoroughly updated and expanded, and now contains new routes through the Cotswolds and Snowdonia, along with full coverage of the ‘official’ SW660 – a spectacular coastal journey through the South West.

Inside lie adventure, beautiful photos, handy maps and quirky travel writing from serial camper van traveller, Martin Dorey. This second edition has been thoroughly updated throughout, with up to date information, guidance and new places to see and enjoy, plus several new routes to explore.

See England and Wales how they should be seen – the slow, responsible way.
