My dog is a good traveller, she settles down on a long journey and you wonder if she's there. Fairly recently though, she's started whining if she thinks she's going to the park. It's got worse and worse to the extent that it's driving us bonkers. We don't know what to do to stop it. Anyone any tips please?

I have tried going different routes but after once or twice they worked that one out LOL
So I started including her in the occasional car journey which was neither a treat nor a threat (ie vets ). For example I park a couple of hundred yards from the house and after dropping off shopping, I get her in the car for that short journey.
This has definitely improved things.
Also - I've not tried any but you can get doggy herbals/products which are supposed to calm them. Have a look on Amazon.

This is what we're doing with Molly. I put her in the car, start it, turn it off as soon as she barks, put her in the house. Blimey it's tedious! But it's starting to work. It began because we have the odd cat coming through the cemetery road so she'd just bark to warn them which isn't entirely appropriate for where we live...
