driving roads around south coast

[E21_Ross]

from the south coast (near winchester) and have been all my life, though spend half the year south wales now and found some epic roads around brecon beacons (i mean, really epic roads!) and wondered if there are any near me? i was thinking somewhere around the new forest but never really come across many, so thought i'd ask on here!! there must be some somewhere!!! not afraid of a little trek there, it's 20ish miles to the forest anyway. if anyone would be so kind to name a few roads i can see what i can do on google maps and come up with a little route

only roads i can vaguely think of are matchams lane (been a long time since i went there, but it's quite good IIRC, and beaulieu road gets quite good once you get away from the town side of it...right?

please guys!! In need of a fun drive! if not for fun...just to p*ss off the greenies every now and again eh

cheers fellas!

A272 and all the little lanes off of it are all good. Lots of little pubs and beautiful villages. Depends if you want flat out fun or twisty quiet beauty. Have to say since getting the Seven I have started to prefer the latter even though the car is ridiculously quick. Something about no pillars and open air makes me appreciate the great conutryside we have down here along the Downs...

Harting down and the backroads to Goodwood are always worth a hoon too.

hi and thanks for the reply,

put the a272 in google maps and got this

where abouts would you suggest joining it for a drive? prefer more twisties than flat out straight roads. found this on another thread, this is the sort of thing i'm after...
