America has Route 66, now we have Route 57 – and we’re driving it as Eco-Tourists!

Designed with local travel expertise, by Jurys Inn Hotel staff – Route 57 is a winding road trip through many must-see destinations – 57 to be exact.

Now people can explore and experience the diversity of the UK & Ireland on one long road trip… or 10 short ones! Route 57 is made up of 10 shorter road trips.


Help Jess with her playlist by sending driving tunes through #route57, #roadtrip, #playlist, and they’ll be added to the Route57 playlist on Spotify!
Jess will start the trip with the Bill Bryson audio book ‘Notes from a Small Island’.

Why an electric car?

As the AA’s electric car myth busting infographic points out, people’s concerns about electric car range don’t match the reality of today’s technology. Electric cars have plenty of range, and what better way to prove that than drive Route 57 in one?!

With the hotels rooms supplied by Jurys Inn, the car supplied by DriveElectric, and charging stations mapped out by ZapMap - motoring journalist Jess Shanahan will be completing the journey in a Kia Soul EV.
