About CarFest North

CarFest North is an independent editorial project about driving routes, northern England and British cars. The route book brings together places to visit, researched arrival points and time out of the car. The notebook takes a longer look at the cars and places along the way.

The itineraries are editorial suggestions; they are not organised tours. Each route includes its own sources, checks and practical notes.

An independent project

Illustrations and maps

The home-page landscape and the lane drawing used beside the site name were created with AI. They depict an imagined northern landscape and do not document a particular road or village. Photographs accompanying the articles show real subjects and have separate credits below.

Map previews use the same route data as the full itineraries. Map data: OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL. Road routing: OSRM. The full route pages provide zoom controls, marked stops and links to Google Maps.

Photographs

Home-page photographs are shown without cropping. The original credit and source are also included with each article.
