British couples have been urged to hit the road this Valentine\u2019s Day and enjoy one of the most romantic drives in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LeaseCar.uk<\/a> team have researched and revealed nine of the most scenic routes around the country, so that couples can enjoy a picnic overlooking rolling hills, or watch the sun set over other dramatic landscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These routes span much of the UK, from Surrey to Somerset and Hampshire to the Yorkshire Dales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spokesperson from LeaseCar.uk<\/a> said: \u201cWhen Valentine\u2019s Day rolls around each year, it\u2019s a mad dash to book a table at your favourite restaurant, the latest rom-com in the cinema or a lane at the local bowling alley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut this year, we\u2019re urging couples to take to the great outdoors to celebrate their love for one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve identified nine of the most scenic and romantic drives across the country, so you can spend time watching the sun set over Lake Windermere, stop off at a local country pub for lunch, or enjoy a picnic overlooking rolling hills and dramatic landscapes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Kendal to Keswick, Lake District<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Offering remarkable views of the Lakeland fells, this 38.6-mile route passes along the banks of both Lake Windermere and Lake Thirlmere, and cuts through countryside which served as inspiration for William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Buttertubs Pass, Yorkshire Dales<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Starting at Cloggerby Rigg in Richmond and passing the deep limestone potholes of Buttertubs, you\u2019ll finish at Penn Lane in Hawes 6.9 miles later. Beginning with a steep climb along Cliff Gate Road, followed by a series of fast descents and tight corners, this short route can often be completed in a brisk 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • The Dark Hedges, Ballymore, Northern Ireland<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Game of Thrones fans should head to Ireland for the best road trip that features the Kind\u2019s Road in Season Two, where Arya Stark travels North. The road cloaked by beech trees creates a fairytale-esque setting which was planted two centuries ago lining the entrance of Grace Hill House. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Cheltenham to Stratford-upon-Avon, The Cotswolds<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Stretching across 32.7 miles, this route passes through the tranquil green hills of the Cotswolds, finishing up in Stratford-upon-Avon; the birthplace of William Shakespeare. A series of quaint English villages are also along the route, as well as the historic town of Chipping Campden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • The New Forest, Hampshire<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Less than one mile from the M27 is the beautiful New Forest, perfect for a road trip and outdoor actives. However, with hundreds of wild ponies roaming the roads, the stunning setting is one to drive carefully when exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Cheddar Gorge, Somerset<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Starting in Bridgwater and travelling along the B3135, you\u2019ll have the opportunity to pass 27 magnificent limescale cliffs which are conveniently situated just to the side of the road. You\u2019ll also pass through the gorgeous village of Cheddar, before finishing off at Cheddar Gorge, a site steeped in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Snake Pass, Peak District<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Possibly the most famous of driving routes through the Peak District, Snake Pass crosses the Pennines between Glossop and the Ladybower Reservoir at Ashopton. Boasting beautiful, green hills on each side and running along the river Ashop, the road\u2019s long, sloping path makes it a dream to drive on \u2013 perfect for a romantic road trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • Surrey Hills<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  Start by Leatherhead and use the A24 to get to Horsham, and then head to Five Oaks and then on to Petersfield. You\u2019ll drive through country lanes to Chichester and then you could head to Brighton via the A27, passing through areas of outstanding natural beauty along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    \n
                  • Glasgow or Edinburgh to Glencoe, Scotland<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                    The route through Glen Coe is one of the most famous driving roads in Scotland, and rightl so. Towering mountains loom overhead as your wind your way through this magnificent glen. Coming from Glasgow or Edinburgh are both great routes \u2013 travelling from Glasgow will take you along the banks of Loch Lomond or if you choose to travel from Edinburgh you\u2019ll pass the Kelpies as well as Stirling Castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
