North Coast 500

Ready for the adventure of a lifetime? The North Coast 500 (NC500) is Scotland’s answer to Route 66!

This epic 500-mile scenic route winds its way around the rugged coast of the Scottish Highlands, offering truly breathtaking views of mountains, lochs, remote beaches and ancient castles. It’s the ultimate road trip, but you don’t have to do it all at once! You can tackle sections at your own pace, enjoying the freedom of the open road.

Start your journey near Inverness, home to many of our Brilliant Base Travelodge hotels. The NC500 is all about exploring incredible natural beauty on a budget – packing your own picnic and finding amazing, free viewpoints are part of the fun! Remember to pack your camera, as you’ll be stopping for photos every five minutes!
