Bentley is taking guests on the ultimate British road trip for their ‘Extraordinary Journey UK’ experience

A five day trip will take you from Bentley’s home in Cheshire to The Macallan Estate in Speyside, Scotland.

Bentley has announced its Extraordinary Journey UK, a five day/four night road trip that will take you from Bentley’s home in Crewe, Cheshire, England to The Macallan Estate in Speyside, Scotland. The journey will take its guest through a number of scenic destinations such as the Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales, and the Cairngorms while also enjoying meals throughout the day that have been whipped up by world-renowned chefs. And of course, you’ll be able to enjoy your trip in one of the latest Bentley models, which include the Bentayga, Flying Spur, and the Continental GT. 

Day 1

Arriving in Cheshire, guests will be greeted by the Bentley event team at the brand’s flagship CW1 House showroom in Crewe. Private entry to the Bentley factory will bring you up close with the craftsmanship that goes into every car and let you explore the vast grounds, seeing our sustainability commitments in action. The evening will conclude with an intimate private dinner within the factory itself.

Day 2

After a leisurely private breakfast, we’ll escort you to collect your private Bentley before driving in convoy into the Peak District National Park, characterised by its outstanding natural scenery.

Lunch will be at the elegant Northcote, hosted by British chef Lisa Goodwin Allen in its Michelin-starred restaurant.

This evening you will overnight at the exquisite Middleton Lodge, the setting for an incredible dinner created lovingly with home-grown and locally-sourced seasonal produce

Day 3

Choose to balance the mind, body and soul by starting your day with a private guided yoga practice in the natural setting of Middleton Lodge. After breakfast our convoy continues into the North Pennines and the Northumberland National Park before heading north into Scotland.

Tonight’s experience will be particularly special as we arrive at The Treehouses of Lanrick, a hidden gem offering true escapism in a stunning and secluded woodland setting, bordering the Trossachs National Park. As night falls, you will enjoy an exquisite, immersive dining experience with celebrity chef Tony Singh.

Day 4

Bidding a reluctant farewell to the Treehouses, we drive northeast towards Great Britain’s largest National Park and our final goal, The Cairngorms. During our spectacular traverse of this stunning wilderness, we will pause for refreshments at the peerless Fife Arms in Braemar. 

Today, you will experience one of the best driving routes in the UK, culminating in the arrival at The Macallan’s Distillery located in the heart of Speyside, Scotland. Here, you will enjoy an immersive experience which will bring The Macallan and Bentley Motors unique global partnership to life. This experience will include a bespoke lunch, a private distillery tour followed by a tutored nosing and tasting where you will learn about the process, production, people and passion that make every bottle of The Macallan single malt whisky so special.

Tonight, will see us staying at the recently restored Rothes Glen and returning to The Macallan Estate for a private, specially curated gastronomic dining experience, which celebrates the shared values at the heart of our partnership.

Day 5
