THE Lake District has been named Gen Z’s happiest UK road trip in a new poll conducted by the fuel brand JET.

36% of Gen Z drivers cited the Lake District as their happiest road trip, with the coast-hugging Devon to Cornwall drive taking the second spot and Peak District taking the third spot.

The research was conducted online in June 2023 by 3Gem Research among 2000 UK drivers over 18 and nationally representative. 

UK drivers were asked to take a trip down memory lane and vote for the road trips they have the happiest memories of.

The poll has also revealed that 48% of UK drivers experience feelings of happiness and joy with 'driving through beautiful scenery' (43%) and 'listening to your favourite road trip playlist' (38%) identified as the top two factors for making driving a happy, pleasurable experience.
