A39 Atlantic Highway

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.

The Hog's Back is a classic narrow chalk ridge between Guildford and Farnham along the North Downs escarpment, offering panoramic views across Surrey and the Weald from one of southern England's most distinctively shaped driving ridgelines.

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 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.
