Loading up the car with picnic food and heading out with the family to stop, eat and enjoy the views is a summer tradition for many of us. But where are the best places to stop - and how should you prep for your "car picnic"?
To find the top places to drive to for an enjoyable picnic, researchers at car company Vanarama analysed Tripadvisor reviews for locations with the most mentions of ‘picnic’ per 100,000 of the population. To focus on locations you can actually enjoy from your car, they excluded indoor or inaccessible areas such as museums, restaurants, theme parks, tours, art galleries and theatres.
When it comes to the exact spots to choose in and around the UK's top locations, Yorkshire Wildlife Park near Doncaster is a firm favourite with reviewers. Other highly-favoured places include Hyde Park and St James's Park in London, in the shadow of Buckingham Palace.
