Luxury in Motion: Exploring Britain’s Hidden Roads by Chauffeur



There is a special kind of freedom found on Britain’s back roads. The ones that wind through rolling hills, past quiet villages and centuries-old manor houses. They reveal a side of the country that no train window can capture, where luxury is not about excess, but about the ease of movement and the joy of discovery.


For the discerning traveller, exploring these hidden routes in comfort has become a new kind of indulgence. And nothing embodies that better than travelling with a private chauffeur, an experience that turns every journey into a story worth telling.

The Charm of the Road Less Travelled

Britain’s motorways may be efficient, but the magic lies elsewhere. In the winding roads of the Cotswolds, the coastal lanes of Cornwall, and the moorland drives of Yorkshire. These routes, often missed by tourists in a hurry, offer a glimpse into the country’s soul.

Each journey brings an unfolding narrative of landscapes, from ancient stone bridges and cathedral spires to misty valleys where time seems to stand still. With a professional driver behind the wheel, travellers are free to simply take it in, the scenery, the silence, the sense of connection that comes from slowing down.

Luxury as Effortless Experience

True luxury travel is never rushed. It is the ability to arrive without stress, to move without logistics, and to experience every detail in comfort. That is what makes a service like V Class chauffeur hire so appealing.

Designed for both families and groups, the Mercedes V-Class offers space, elegance, and refinement in equal measure. Plush interiors, climate control, and generous legroom turn even the simplest countryside drive into a serene escape. Whether it is a day exploring Oxfordshire’s antique shops or a weekend retreat in the Lake District, comfort becomes part of the destination itself.

The difference lies in the small details, a smooth journey, a driver who knows every scenic shortcut, and the peace of mind that comes with private, door-to-door travel.

Hidden Gems Worth the Detour

Some of Britain’s most enchanting spots are tucked away beyond the reach of train lines and motorways.

In the Cotswolds, narrow lanes lined with honey-coloured cottages lead to cozy tearooms and boutique inns. In Norfolk, the coastal route between Holkham and Blakeney reveals windswept beaches and bird-filled marshes. Up north, the Yorkshire Dales offer dramatic views and quiet stone villages, perfect for unhurried exploration.

Each destination rewards those who travel differently, those who see the journey itself as part of the adventure.

VIP Travel, the British Way

Luxury travel in Britain has evolved. It is no longer just about five-star hotels or fine dining, but about how seamlessly every moment fits together. For travellers who value privacy, style, and personalised service, a VIP chauffeur hire experience captures that new definition of sophistication.

Whether it is a transfer from London to a countryside estate or a multi-day bespoke itinerary through England’s heritage cities, VIP chauffeur services offer discretion, precision, and comfort that align with the expectations of the world’s most refined travellers.

It is travel designed around you, unhurried, elegant, and entirely effortless.

Rediscovering the Joy of British Travel

There is something timeless about exploring Britain by road. It is a reminder that the country’s greatest treasures are not only in its grand landmarks, but in the quiet moments between them, a misty morning in the Cotswolds, a sunset over the Welsh hills, a surprise detour to a centuries-old inn.

A chauffeur-driven journey gives you the time to savour these details, turning travel into something deeper, an experience that feels both luxurious and profoundly human.

In the end, luxury in motion is not just about getting somewhere, it is about how beautifully you get there.

Rift Complete Mounts Instruction

Basic mount information.
Mounts! Mounts! and more Mounts! Everyone wants to run faster, get to quests and back, get from rift to rift as soon as you can, but where can you get them? when? for how much? and how fast?

The first mounts you can get used to be level 20, but with the recent beta they removed the level requirement and you can now get a mount at any level as long as you have enough money. How much money do the mounts cost? (This is a picture of the mount vendor in the main city Meridian for the defiant side. The mount cost the same for both defiants and guardians though.)



The mounts cost 2 plat, 50 gold for the one that requires no level and is 60% speed, 35 plat for the 90% speed one and 125 plat for the 110% speed one.

What do the %'s mean? The cheaper, slower mounts are 60% faster running speed while on the mount, at level 40 you can get 90% speed mounts in your main cities and at level 50 you can get mounts that are 110% faster running speed.


Lastly, where can you get them? Well, they aren't far from the starting zone, they are just a few quest hubs away. The guardian's mount vendor is here, just south of the Argent Glade




The Defiant's mount vendor is here



There is also mount vendors in each main city.


Also as a side note, when pre-ordering the collectors edition, on the website it says that it comes with a mount that can be used at level 20, ever since the change towards mounts you can now use that at any level even though on the website it still says that it can be used at level 20.

An explanation of mount speed, mount types

Mounts are animals or creations used by players to move faster. Mounts have to be purchased from mount vendors and added into the player's collection (like books and companions). Mounting has a 1.5 sec cast time, and players can be dismounted when taking damage. Players will also dismount when using any ability.

The mounted speed increase depends on the level of the mount.
basic mounts give 60% faster movement speed and can be obtained at any player level
mounts for level 40 players give 90% speed increase, and
mounts for level 50 players give 110% to 110% speed increase.
This does not stack with other movement speed buffs, with the exception of some outfitter enhancement consumables that can be applied to leg items.

Apart from running (mounted or unmounted), players can instantly travel to other zones by using a Porticulum or the Ascended Power Soul Recall.

Mount types

Various vendors across Telara sell different types of mounts, most of them require a certain notoriety with the local ally faction. Each mount type is additionally available in a variety of color designs.

Here is a list of the available mounts and where to find their vendors.

Players may purchase a mount once they reach level 20. You will need to visit a vendor to purchase your mount.

After you purchase a mount, right click on the mount's icon in your backpack to have it move to your Mount Collections tab. Once the mount icon shows up on your Mount collections tab, you will be able to drag the icon to any of your action bars.

Nell Hara is the vendor in Sanctum.
