About Quiet Route
Every trip starts with a plan that never quite comes together.
How a van, a spreadsheet, and too many AI chats became Quiet Route.
The story
The trips were great. The planning never was.
We travel in a self-converted VW Crafter most summers. The trips are the best part of the year. Planning them never was.
A shared spreadsheet. A dozen browser tabs. Half a conversation with ChatGPT that hallucinated a campsite in a car park. We’d wing it or not go at all.
Nothing took all of it. Where you want to go, how you travel, what you enjoy, what you can spend. Nothing gave you an actual plan. Quiet Route is that thing.
Behind Quiet Route
David O’Sullivan
Built Quiet Route from a home office in Merseyside
I have been building for the web for over ten years. Quiet Route came from our first summer in a van I converted, and the realisation that planning the trip was the only part I didn’t enjoy.
I designed it, I built it and I maintain every part of it. If you email me, I will reply.

The National Trust.
Every Quiet Route subscription puts money back into the places you visit. 5% of our annual profit goes to the National Trust, who look after the coastline, countryside and historic places across England, Wales and Northern Ireland that make these trips worth taking.
This is not a token gesture. The amount will be published on this page every year, starting April 2027, covering our first year of operation. If Quiet Route does well, the donation grows with it.
