Plan your journey from Gatwick
From Gatwick Airport, it’s a 90-minute drive into Central London or 45 minute car journey to Brighton on the south coast.Beyond London
Cruise for just over an hour up to the tearoom-filled villages of the Cotswolds, heading right for the classical city of Cambridge and surrounding Fens. Cruise north to the Minsters and small-town charm of Yorkshire, Wordsworth country tucked away in the idyllic Lake District or the sparsely populated, eerily ascetic Northumberland coast.
Or set off due southwest from Gatwick through the South Downs National Park, the seaside delights of Dorset and Devon, and on to the wild moors and surfer-friendly bays of Cornwall. Bath, a spa destination since Celtic times, lies west of Gatwick, as does Wales. Cross the border for the second-hand bookshop capital of the world, Hay-on-Wye, or Swansea’s sublime, sandy neighbour Rhossili.
