On the Road Reviews - A New Feature You Can Help Create

We've all had those moments when traveling:

• Hunger pangs along the way with nothing in sight but hamburger chains and fried chicken joints - or worse, nothing in sight from the main road at all.
• Stuck between trains, planes or buses with time to kill in a strange place and no idea what, if anything, is worth seeing.
• Ready for a touring break but unsure whether there is anything worth stopping for nearby.

On the Road Reviews, launched today, is a new feature highlighting local restaurants, shops and attractions that are worth knowing about if you are touring in the UK. These are not destinations worth a special detour, but simply handy local knowledge in a pinch.

The list is still pretty short but you can make it grow. Have you:

• eaten at a pub, bistro, tea shop or restaurant, near a main touring road, that you think is worth recommending?
• found a family attraction that the kids really loved where you least expected it?
• discovered a shop full of desireable clothing, pottery, crafts, artwork, that is really off - but not that far from - the beaten path?

If you have, let us know by:

• adding your comment below
• emailing me at gouk.guide@about.com
• or writing about it in the UK Travel Forum

Make sure to include your email so I can get in touch and tell you how to submit your own On the Road Review. Meanwhile, check out today's On the Road Review
