I thought I would start up a new thread on peoples recommendations of great driving roads. There's bound to be loads out there that are absolute gems throughout the country. Then if anyones in the area they can give them a try. Feel free to add comments as you see fit. If this proves popular, we could ask for it to be made into a sticky. Ok, time to get the ball rolling. See below for a few of my personnel favorites with comments:
1.
B1257 Stokesley to Helmsley, North Yorkshire. An absolute blast in either direction, but be warned, get to know the road first as there's lots of undulations and technical twists.
Best driven outside peak times such as holidays and weekend afternoons as can get busy with tourists and bikers. I believe this road was mentioned by Car Magazine as one of their top 10.
2.
B6318 Greenhead to Heddon-on-the-Wall, Northumbria. (Runs parallel to the A69 west coast Cumbria to east coast Northumbria)
Great road for extremely long straights and fast corners. Again the road is quite undulating and used to be a Roman road, hence the long straights! Again can be busy during peak periods due to a number of museums along the road. Hadrians Wall runs the entire length of it.
Well there's a couple for you all to be getting on with. I'm sure I'll think of a few more over the next day or so. Forgot to mention, both these roads have some spectacular scenery too, so you could use the excuse with the wife/girlfriend/husband/boyfriend that you are on a sightseeing trip.
Right, I'll sit back and see where this goes.
