A31 Hog's Back

An 86-mile unhurried single-carriageway that winds through the South Downs National Park from Winchester to Heathfield, threading quaint villages, valleys and hilltops near Goodwood and Petworth, and famous for almost always being empty at the right time of day.

A long, largely unspoilt Hampshire A-road running north from Wickham through the lush Meon Valley to Alton, beloved by local enthusiasts for its sweeping open sections, gentle off-camber bends and almost total absence of dual-carriageway upgrades.

A glorious slow-burn coastal drive from Torquay to Plymouth along the South Hams, combining estuaries, fishing villages and sweeping sea views across Start Bay, Dartmouth and Salcombe on a road that perfectly balances scenery with genuine driving engagement.

A 70-mile sweep along Britain's wild Atlantic fringe from Barnstaple to Fraddon, tracking above the cliffs and coves of north Cornwall with signposted scenic stops at Bude, Tintagel and Wadebridge.

A classic enthusiast detour off the A272, these linked B-roads climb steeply through the South Downs National Park from Petersfield south towards Chichester and Goodwood, offering every challenge except speed cameras on a route cited by PistonHeads as an AAA five-star drive.

A 17-mile rollercoaster of a coastal B-road between Bridport and Weymouth that hugs the ridgelines above Chesil Beach and the Fleet Lagoon, passing through thatched Dorset villages with jaw-dropping views of a UNESCO World Heritage coastline at every crest.
