My strategy for the drive from Scotland to Devon was to break it up. I tried to find places to stay near something cool, so we would wake, spend a good chunk of the day exploring and doing fun things, then drive a few hours each afternoon while everyone napped. Except me, of course.
Although I had been to England a fair number of times, most of my time there had been in a fairly small “path” between London, my uncles house, and my grandmas house. Although it was a quick trip, I really enjoyed seeing some new parts of the country I hadn’t been to before. It’s a beautiful country.
