THE TINKERER

the LRO Adventure trail • The UK has some fantastic roads to drive. Many of them are greenlanes, allowing us to get away from regular traffic; others are joyous tarmac ribbons that snake over hills and across moors. In this series we’ve joined them together to form the LRO Adventure Trail – a 3800-mile, family-friendly route that offers the best driving available with the bonus of interesting places to visit. No matter where you live in the UK, you’ll never be far from the LRO Adventure Trail.
