As well as being our summer holiday we are also celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary on this trip which was a good excuse to push the boat out on some of our accommodation and dining options
If anyone has any feedback on this itinerary or any suggestions on places to visit/drive/eat they would be most welcome. If I'm honest I'm a little apprehensive taking a 12 yrs old car on this kind of trip but I'm sure it will be fine...
Any other general road trip advice is also welcome, particularly around packing everything in. My wife has already started stressing !
