Drove on the 4560 recently after seeing your post, was a brilliant road up until it narrows up more than ideal before reaching Llangyndir so so might double back at the last hairpin and turn off to crickhowell heading north next time though. Much appreciated for your post!
Also drove on the B4521 to Abergavenny as entering the Wales and at the end of the day left by the B4235 usk to chepstow, both roads were excellent as well I thought.
Glad to help, they are great roads!Also drove on the B4521 to Abergavenny as entering the Wales and at the end of the day left by the B4235 usk to chepstow, both roads were excellent as well I thought.

B4520 Brecon - Builth Wells
B4519 Upper Chapel - Garth
B4518 Rhyader - Llanidloes
are not too shabby.
These are also very good roads, the nearby B4358 from Newbridge to Bleugh is also worth doing!B4519 Upper Chapel - Garth

reckon it works better going Beulah >> Newbridge but much enjoyment can be had the other way around
Found the B3227 west from Bampton to the A361 to be bloody awesome and empty at around lunch time today

And this mornings route. Shame the B3223 from Simonsbath to Lynmouth was shut, but it was still a great drive with the roads being so quiet!

No idea of the road name but while I was in the lakes the road from keswick to windemere wasn't a bad jaunt

The A591. It has different names depending on where you are on it.Chestnut Hill/Castlerigg Brow/Nest Brow - heading out of Keswick
Dunmail Raise - south of Thirlmere
Rydal Road - between Rydal and Ambleside
Market Place - in Ambleside
Lake Road - between Ambleside and Waterhead
Skelghyll Lane - between Waterhead and Toutbeck Bridge
Ambleside Road between Troutbeck Bridge and Windermere
It forms the bulk of the primary route from the south to the Lakes, leaving the A590 to Barrow-in-Furness at Sizergh. Not too bad at this time of year but a nightmare after the tourists start arriving en masse.

B6278 from Stanhope to Barnard Castle. Twisty but well sighted.
Did that on the return leg down from Scotland via Hexham and Blanchland in 2012. This year we decided to try a different route and headed down the A7 then the B6318 to Gilsland, From there to Lambley, Slaggyford, and Alston. There we split up.My mate went west to tackle Hartside while I headed east into the town and the B6277 to Barnard Castle. All I can say is the section across the fells past Burnhope Seat and the watershed between the South Tyne and the Tees is awesome. Made even better by a play with a modded GT4.

I enjoyed a nice blast up the A701 north of Moffat in the good weather a couple of weeks ago, great road, good sightlines, reasonable surface.
I prefer it coming the other way. In particular seeing how rapidly you can descend the Devil's Beef Tub.Brownie points if you can do it with little or no braking.
Be careful in Broughton. The BiB sometimes like to park in the shadows under the trees here.
Hairdryer at the ready to snare anyone who has crept over the 30 limit.
I had to drive from Coventry to Rugby yesterday, but rather than driving the direct route I went to check out a road I'd heard good things about, the A44 heading east from Evesham, towards Moreton in Marsh. It rises up over a ridge and the climb is a sequence of alpine style hairpins, but with a crawler lane - even better than I was expecting.
On the way to Evesham I took the B4089 to Alcester, which was also a good road.

Yes the downhill stretch was particularly awesome, made me properly fall for my new car! Agree on it being amusing if taken at a steadier speed with as little braking as possible!Brownie points if you can do it with little or no braking.

You're not kidding. A 12 mile journey just became eight times as long! Presumably the Fosse Way from Moreton?Craikeybaby said:

- Fish Hill, Broadway.Going the other way it's even (in)famous enough to get its own name sign.
Get ready to bail out! Your final warning! Welcome to the last chance saloon...
(don't park here unless you want to risk an artic up your chuff...).

Fairly average AFAICS and the decent bits spoiled by the 50 limit.
