Pretty much anything west of Salisbury. Or, go over the Severn bridge and turn right.

Had an awesome day, the BMW M4 is seriously fast and the roads that Evo use are fantastic, thanks for the recommendations.

Here's the route in case anyone wants it: https://goo.gl/maps/cm9rz

NE from Abridge, exit the first junction on M11 from North circular inside M25. Give me a shout if you want to head out together as it is very easy to get there from the City / Tower Bridge.
do you have a Google maps recommended route for this by any chance? i live near Tower Bridge and want to take my new motor out this weekend for a blast so this could be ideal if you say it's easy to get to. I don't know Essex very well at all...
No map but....

Take the Loughton exit off the M11 Northbound then turn right
At the roundabout, take 1st exit onto A113
Stay on the A113 through Abridge and Ongar. The bit between Abridge and Ongar is great.
At the A414 roundabout take the 2nd exit onto the B184 through Dunmow, Thaxted to Saffron Waldon
After that you can keep going north (Cambridge), east (deepest Essex) or west (B660 etc).
Or you can go back the way you came or head back on the M11

Apologies for the late reply - been away on honeymoon.

When you get to Great Dunmow, you can also head NE towards Finchingfield too. Also a great road.
Thanks chaps, will give this a go.

I will give this a try soon.. was supposed to head out this morning but gave up seeing the grey skies.. I usually do this one, there's a few very good stretches but nothing to worry wales nor European Alpine passes..

So to diversify a little this "north" loop could be interesting
