Top 5 Scenic Coach Journeys in the UK
Looking to soak up some stunning views without the stress of driving? With Loch Lomond Travel, all you need to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery. These are five of our favourite coach holidays for taking in the best of the UK’s landscapes.
North Coast 500 Explorer
If you're after big views and wide open spaces, the North Coast 500 is hard to beat. This coastal route winds through the Highlands, passing lochs, beaches, mountains and tiny villages along the way. It’s one of Scotland’s most scenic drives — and even better when you’re not the one behind the wheel.

Mull & Iona Discovery
This island tour is all about peace, beauty, and a bit of adventure. We’ll take the ferry to Mull, explore its dramatic coastline, then cross to Iona – a quiet little island with ancient history and white sandy beaches. It’s a lovely way to switch off and take in the natural beauty of the west coast.

Lake District Weekend
Rolling hills, mirror-like lakes and postcard-perfect villages make the Lake District one of the prettiest places in England. The coach journey itself is a treat, with views at every turn – and there’s plenty of time to explore, unwind, or even take a boat out on the water.

Fort William & The Jacobite Steam Train
This one’s a firm favourite. We’ll travel through Glencoe – one of Scotland’s most breathtaking glens – then hop aboard the Jacobite Steam Train for the iconic trip across the Glenfinnan Viaduct. It’s a must for Harry Potter fans, but the views are magical whether you’ve seen the films or not.

Arran in a Day
Sometimes called 'Scotland in miniature', Arran has a little bit of everything – mountains, beaches, forests, castles and more. We’ll take the ferry over, loop around the island by coach, and give you time to enjoy its relaxed pace and lovely views.
