Taking a trip in a Zipcar

Things to do in and around Islington by car

If you want to get back to nature, then you could take a trip up to the Broxbourne and Bencroft nature reserves. Here you can escape the city life of the capital and take your pick from the various walks available. A popular choice is the sculpture trail where you follow a path through the woods past a collection of interesting art works. You can also trace the route of a Roman road and see a medieval moated enclosure.

A bit further away, Newmarket is still within day tripping distance. The centre of British horse racing, Newmarket is a must-see for horse lovers. You can either time your visit to catch a race day, or visit the National Stud and see the race horses being exercised on the gallops, although you need to start early to catch this.

So, if you want all the advantages of owning a car without actually having one, then Zipcar is the solution.
