Driving roads, your finds?

Having recently reading the thread about the cat & fiddle being made "safer" I thought I would post one of my fave little routes which I stumbled uppon in my work van one day due to my satnav being retarded (im pleased about now lol)

Anyway this road is cracking http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=51.946408,-0.029998&daddr=A507%2FClothall+Rd&hl=en&geocode=%3BFXs_GQMdSkf9_w&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=0&sz=15&sll=51.946752,-0.044074&sspn=0.019099,0.038581&ie=UTF8&ll=51.947519,-0.062485&spn=0.019099,0.038581&t=h&z=15 Its all NSL bar the small town in the middle, its through lovely hilly countryside with great visibility due to a lack of verges or big hedges and there are a big variety of corners.

What are your good driving roads guys?

So google states 11 mins for that little strech of road, I think thats a little wrong

A65 towards Settle is a corker

Thats an average of 41 MPH with around a mile with a 30MPH limit?

this is my favourite. Its a blast during the day and nice and surreal at night if the moon is out.

This road in the day, in the summer, if the roads are clear.

From Stokesley to Helmsley is the best road in the North East IMHO. Just got to watch out for those suicidal Bikers.

Any roads around Spelga Dam, Co. Down - Unbelievable at night under moonlight.

A444 is the Best road I know or have ever driven on.
Pick it up at the A5 end near Caldecote & the road just builds & builds through Gorgeous bends, When you get to the end there is even a garage for a drink & a fill up before the return run.

I recently did the coast road which goes all the way around Northern Ireland and loved almost every minute of it. Was a pretty desolate day with nobody else on it.

None I have that would mean much to UK peeps, unfortunately. There's some amazing twisties, sheer drops, incredible straights, views, and 'spirited' driving to be had here, though.

Might take some pictures next weekend

Morestead road that I was introduced to on a PH meet last year is a fantastic road that I somehow didn't know about, found some cracking roads in the Alps year before last by complete accident on the Student Brakeaway that were completely empty and so well sighted and smooth. But couldn't tell you where they were.

A686

Without a doubt.

Gibraltar --> Jimena, nothing too exciting, means to an end.

But... Jimena --> Ronda, and then Ronda --> Marbella are simply epic drives. Not been up there in a good 6 months or so, but the amount of press-drives and/or expensive machinery being driven there is wonderful.

Backroads from Wantage to Newbury are a lot of fun
