Road trips give motorists the opportunity to take in a wide range of interesting attractions and destinations from the comfort of their own car.

       However, whilst many drivers idolise the idea of completing the North Coast 500 or even international journeys like Route 66, few motorists want to find themselves stuck in traffic amongst other tourists on their holiday.

       To help drivers find a peaceful yet just as beautiful road trip destination, Vixa, the AA's AI-powered car care service, has recommended that they consider the Kintyre 66 in Scotland.

       They explained: "While the NC500 is a route well travelled, Scotland’s Kintyre 66 loop around the Kintyre Peninsula is not one to be missed, boasting rugged landscapes, pristine beaches and sweeping sea views.

       "Along the way, road trippers can explore historic sites, sample local seafood, and enjoy the rich cultural heritage of this lesser-known Scottish gem."

       Whilst the name may make drivers think of the famous American Route 66, a highway that travels through eight states over 2,448 miles, the Kintyre 66 is a round trip that takes motorists around some of Scotland's lesser-known regions.

       Some of the areas the route takes motorists to include Southend & Machrihanish, Campbeltown, and Tarbert, allowing visitors to take in some spectacular scenery.

       The 66-mile-long journey uses the A83 and B842, but drivers will find six spurs that they could use to extend their trip further.

       Like all good road trips, none of the roads used on the route are particularly busy, with some featuring a single track.

       Motorists looking to start their Kintyre 66 road trip will likely need to catch the ferry from Tayinloan to Gigha to reach the peninsula, and travel to the most populated area of Campeltown - argued to be the most remote town in Scotland.

       From there, drivers can head north, passing Peninver and Saddel, before reaching the fishing village of Carradale, where visitors can experience some tranquility on the beach.

       Continuing to head north, drivers will eventually reach Tarbert, where they can take boat tours or experience a slice of the village's past by visiting the castle.

       Returning to the main road, drivers will then head south, passing villages including Rhunahaorine, Glenbarr and Bellochantuy, before reaching Campbeltown once again.

       Alternatively, Vixa suggested that motorists looking for a typically overlooked road trip should consider the Pembrokeshire Coast 200, which features plenty of wildlife and history.

       They added: "The Pembrokeshire’s 200-mile route that winds through Wales’ most picturesque coastal scenery, taking in sightseeing spots such as St. Davids Cathedral, which is the smallest city in Britain, and the stunning Blue Lagoon at Abereiddy Bay.

       "Keen nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike can visit Pembroke Castle and enjoy the panoramic views from the cliffs of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park."
