The 11000 miles mentioned by Titchmarsh is taking in every little rock and small inlet for the whole of Britain rather than where you can drive in England. In many places the road is not very close to the shore and the borders with Wales and Scotland are inland.
1200 miles seems a reasonable estimate for England alone. Scotland has a very indented coastline much of it a long way from roads

It depends on how close to the coast you drive., but I'd guess 1200 miles, 6 weeks. This is just England, not Scotland or Wales. Can I come too ?

properly once you upward push up close to the Highlands you would be bogged down very lots through "roads" that are smaller than some human beings's driveways. Passing places and all - exceptionally Ardnemurchan section - Kilchoan being the west maximum factor of the Mainland. i could probability very sort of two,500 - 3,000 miles to flow suitable around the coast, yet with some incredibly iffy-roads alongside the holiday, do no longer anticipate to be doing 60 all the way :) even while the roads are "ok", because it will be coastal, anticipate jams and delays a great bit. in case you reckoned on an general velocity perchance of 40 mph, then perchance around 60 - 70 hours of non-provide up driving. Assuming human beings could desire to mild to often visit the bathing room / consume and sleep etc, then in case you have been on the line for sixteen hours an afternoon, then approximately 4-5 days. in case you took a week off and left Friday night, you are able to have utpo 9 days on your holiday - that could desire to allow for many circumstances - which is composed of the unpredicted puncture / somebody feeling sick / roads closed through snow (esp in Highlands) appears like a relaxing holiday yet wish you're stable acquaintances to all be spending that lots time cooped up mutually :)
