Getting\u00a0the bus is often a bit of a chore, something you do purely to get about.\u00a0You don\u2019t tend to properly take in what\u2019s going on beyond the window, but sometimes a journey can be just as exciting as a destination. The Telegraph knows this, and so the newspaper has curated a list of Britain\u2019s most gorgeous bus routes.<\/p>\n
All of these are regular old buses that people take to work, to get into town, to get home; you get the gist. The point is that they aren\u2019t tourist coaches, nor are they designed for maximised views \u2013 it\u2019s just luck that they happen to pass by some stunning scenery. This also means that they\u2019re all pretty affordable if you fancy a cheap UK based adventure.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Telegraph\u2019s choices\u00a0are in no particular order, but each route has its own standout characteristic. For instance, the 477 from Berwick-Upon-Tweed to the Holy Island, Lindisfarne, is \u2018dependent on the tides\u2019, because at high tide the road is flooded over. This leads to what the Telegraph describes as a \u2018stupendously complicated timetable\u2019. Still, this half hour journey is full of views of the sea and countryside \u2013 as long as you can manage to catch the bus before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n
The northernmost bus to make the list is the post bus, the W17, from Lochboisdale pier on South Uist, to the Isle of Benbecula, which actually crosses a bridge to end up on a different Hebridean island than the one it began on. This is a very remote service, but it does boast some unparalleled Highland scenery, and if you ask nicely it will even stop at Benbecula airport for you.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Right\u00a0at the other end of the country another of the most scenic bus routes can be found between Devon<\/a> and Plymouth<\/a>. The number 3 is described by the Telegraph\u2019s Andrew Gilligan as running \u2018along what must be the narrowest A-road in England, within inches of house walls and medieval bay-windows\u2019. Sounds pretty unique.<\/p>\n The 599 through Bowness and Windermere to Grasmere in the Lake District<\/a> also gets a mention for its meandering route around the lakes, as does Birmingham\u2019s number 11, which \u2018stops at Britain\u2019s own Hobbiton\u2019. No Northern Irish buses make the cut, but Wales does get a look in thanks to the \u2018international\u2019 number 740, which goes from Knighton, in Wales, to Ludlow, in England.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Telegraph\u2019s top 10 most beautiful bus routes in the UK<\/strong><\/p>\n
