If you’re anything like Virgin, then you were probably all bleary eyed and overcome on the train to work this morning, leafing through the paper trying to find the nearest weather forecast.

Which takes your fancy?
1. Scotland – Glasgow to the Applecross Peninsula

2. Spain – Santander to the Picos de Europa

3. The USA – Colorado’s Rocky Mountain National Park
Rocky Mountain National Park’s stunning Trail Ridge Road is the highest continuously paved highway in the United States. We’re talking high – 12,183 feet at its summit. It is without a doubt one of the best short drives in the USA…
