Hundreds of thousands of England and Scotland fans are expected to travel to North America next June for the opening stages of the men's football World Cup. England will face Croatia in Dallas, Ghana in Boston and Panama in New York. Scotland's first two matches are in Boston against Haiti and Morocco, with their final group game against Brazil in Miami.
The gaps between matches allow plenty of time for road trips. England supporters can travel from Texas to Massachusetts, while Scotland's Tartan Army can journey from Boston to Miami. England fans also have the option of a rail trip along the coast from Boston to New York.
For fans of Wales or Northern Ireland, if either wins their play-off, they could enjoy journeys from Toronto to Los Angeles and onwards to Seattle. But for now, here are the best US adventures for travelling fans.
After England's match in Dallas on 17 June, fans can head northeast along Interstate 30 to Little Rock, Arkansas. Highlights include the Ace of Clubs House, a 19th-century mansion shaped like a playing card. In Little Rock, the Central High School National Historic Site commemorates the 1957 civil rights struggle, and the Clinton Presidential Center honours the former president.
Further east, Memphis offers the home of the blues on Beale Street, Graceland, and the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel where Dr Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated. Nashville boasts the Country Music Hall of Fame and the National Museum of African American Music, plus a full-scale replica of the Parthenon. Knoxville is home to bluegrass jam sessions.
From Knoxville, a 700-mile drive on Interstate 81 leads to Scranton, Pennsylvania, shadowing the Appalachian range. Alternatively, detour via the Blue Ridge Parkway and Skyline Drive through Virginia.
