The UK is packed with amazing places to visit, with something for everyone: wild unpopulated coastlines, busy bustling cultural centres, theme parks, national parks and even arcades where you can try your hand at games of chance. If you’re planning some days out to help pass the time before your summer holidays this year, you can do no better than to stick a pin in a map of England, Wales and Scotland, then pack your car and head off for a full day of driving, sightseeing, landmarks and souvenirs. But before you go, do make sure your car is in the best shape possible: nothing will scupper your plans faster than an unexpected puncture at the side of the motorway… Also think about fitting alloy wheels to your car: they can enhance your car’s performance and help you to enjoy unforgettable days out. Let’s take a look before you order alloy wheels at The Wheel Guys and start planning your itinerary.
South Croydon: Handy and Bursting With Nature Walks
Just the name South Croydon conjures up images of urban build-up, electronic music and crowded pop-up fusion food stalls, but the area actually has a lot of green space where you and the family can go and enjoy a day in nature. Wandle Park has tennis courts (which must be booked in advance), a children’s playground, and lots of winding walkways that you can venture along, enjoying the fresh air and tranquillity. There is parking nearby where you can leave your car, having enjoyed the responsibility engendered by the fitting of your shiny new alloy wheels: being so much lighter than steel wheels, you will be able to make all those tight turns and fit into narrow parking spots with much greater ease than usual.
Go For a Bath!
Bath is a popular tourist destination, today mainly thanks to the works of writers like Jane Austen who wrote about their fictional characters visiting real places in the city – but people in those days came to Bath for their health and to ‘take the waters’ by bathing in the natural hot and warm springs that have attracted people to the region for millennia. And you can do the same thing, packing the car with the family’s swimming things, towels and changes of clothing, free from the worry that you are overloading the vehicle – because fitting alloy wheels will have reduced the weight the tyres are taking so much, you might even be able to take more equipment and clothing than usual without putting any extra strain on your tyres!
Enjoy a Leisurely Day at Aberystwyth
Wales is full of beautiful vistas, tall mountains, historic castles and ancient buildings, as well as thriving and bustling cities. For something a little different, why not head to Aberystwyth on the coast and stroll along the beaches? The town is named for the river that winds its way lazily to the sea here – the translation of Aberystwyth is ‘mouth of the winding river’ – and there are plenty of coastal walks where you can exercise the children and tire them out nicely for the drive home. And it doesn’t matter how far from home Aberystwyth is: alloy wheels will reduce your wear and tear, so long day trips won’t wreak any havoc on your car’s moving parts.
Big City, Bright Lights: London!
Finally, head up to London for the day – your alloy wheels will reduce your fuel consumption noticeably, but, sadly, probably not quite enough for you to avoid the ULEZ charges! But there is plenty of parking on the outskirts of the city, with excellent public transport links to all the attractions London has to offer, and there are many: theatres, museums, parks and zoos, historic sites and markets abound.
