Internet Journey Planners take the pain out of working out motorcycle rides and let you get on with the good part. Website databases automate the task of finding motorbike roads to a specific destination. Here are some top picks for motorcycle rides in the United Kingdom. Scotland - Glasgow to Inverness on the A82 It's hard to beat the vision of the Scottish scenery up in this area, with Loch Ness, Glen Coe and Loch Lomond along the way, and seeing it all by motorcycle is a memorable experience. The route snakes through the amazing hills and valleys, and there are loads of magical, historical spots to stop off at as you go. From Glasgow to Fort William and beyond, there's certainly no shortage of places to eat, drink and take a well earned break. Northern Ireland - The Antrim Coast on the A2 The coast of Northern Ireland is understandably considered one of the most scenic places to visit in the United Kingdom. If you've ever had a motorcycle ride along a coast route you'll already know the incredible thrill it brings, and this area of coastline has to be one of the best to have as your backdrop. One of the best things about this motorbike route is that it's a familiar haunt for bikers, as it's the home of the North West 200 Road Race. There are also a host of picturesque villages and spots to unwind in while you're in the area. Wales - The Horseshoe Pass on the A542 The Welsh scenery is characterised by extreme mountains and rolling hills, and the Horseshoe Pass is a fantastic area to get up close to it. The slopes on these ideal motorbike roads are pretty gentle and the curves gradual, so it's first and foremost a pleasant ride, letting you really soak up the majestic countryside landscapes. England - Hardknott Pass in the Lake District There are of course many motorbike rides across England, but in terms of scenery you'd do well to beat the Lake District. This motorcycle route is an intense experience for anyone, so it's probably best suited to those with a few more miles behind them. The hills are steep and old, the peaks high and the valleys low. It might well seem a scary prospect but it's worth all the hard work when you take in the fantastic views.
