Hi everyone,

One of the greatest joys of owning a caravan or motorhome is the freedom to explore the open road and soak in the world's beauty at our own pace. We've all had those breath-taking moments where the journey becomes just as memorable as the destination itself.

So, let's share those memories! What's the most scenic route you've ever taken with your caravan or motorhome? Maybe it was a winding mountain pass with panoramic vistas, a tranquil coastal drive with the ocean at your side, or perhaps a rolling countryside filled with fields of blooming flowers.

Tell us about the route (don't forget to mention where it is), what made it so special, and if you have any tips for other members who might like to take the same journey.

Looking forward to hearing about your scenic adventures.

I think the 40 mile approach to Mont Blanc from the south along the Val d'Aosta motorway takes some beating.

Look to the right if you are heading south from Grenoble on the D1075 . It’s Mont Aiguille.

For me it is the A82 from Tyndrum, over Rannoch Moor and down Glen Coe to Ballachullish, especially the short stretch north from before Bridge of Orchy past Loch Tulla with Beinn An Dothaidh to the right and the Black Mount ahead.

 I think two spring to mind. Firstly driving over Rannoch Moor on the A82, it has an eerie feel about it. The second would be driving over the Brenner Pass from Italy into Austria. In fact anywhere in Austria would also be classed as memorable.

A typo there I think, TDA, it’s on Loch Awe and was for sale a while ago.🙂

Yes, the far north is well worth doing. Mind you, we went there long before anyone thought of the NC500 and I believe it’s far busier now.

How odd that David can add photos but the button is dead for me. (iPad running Safari).

Indeed, spell checker went all sheepish🤣 It’s one of those places where you think it’s a CG image, much like Bamburgh. First time we saw it, there was an advert being filmed for VW’s new hot hatch……the Golf Cabriolet🤣 So that dates it a bit. We had to wade across flooded causeway second time. 
Not tempted up there at the moment, far too busy with folks doing that route. We would need a couple of months at least to do that route to take in all we would want to see. 🤔

Living on the coast we really are very spoilt and often early in the morning whilst out and about i wonder why we ever bother going away but this year we have revisited Devon & Cornwall and some of the scenery and food are just something to die for laughing

You might get to see the real Loch Ewe one day TDA if you get as far as beautiful Wester Ross where there's a view round every corner.

I found a photo to fit my scenic drive but it doesn't have the clear skies needed to see Portland Bill.
