I love driving over the Brecon beacons when there's nobody else on the road

 
I delivered a Porsche Boxster back from Swansea last summer. I came back through the Beacons as someone had turned off motorways on the sat nav (real shame that).... Stuck to 60 though obviously 

I drive from Swansea to the midlands once a month and only take the motorway for about 5miles! Always take the Beacons unless the weather is reeeeeally bad.

Slightly outside the UK but a lap of the TT course here.  Also we have many rallies here and so loads and loads of 'stages' if that's your thing

The Cotswolds - especially the Stroud valley. Picturesque, narrow, adventurous, old fashioned, friendly, relaxing, escape from hassle, always something good around the next bend.

Nice pubs, proper pubs, as well.

i always used to like the bit of road on the way to mini in the park (when it was in a park)

 

it was a short stretch of up hill road with lots of bends and a over taking lane, the sign said max speed 25 mph so i used to try and triple that at least

A couple of my favourites are the A686 from Alston to Melmerby. This video shows the decent from the Hartside Café to Melmerby.

 

 

and the Buttertubs Pass in Yorkshire

+1 on the a686 

I also really like the a82 on the way to Glen Coe

There are a lot of Cafe's involved with these roads, Lol.

that's hard to beat, especially with the speed limits. Doing the mountain at speed is as good as the Nurburgring any day.

Speed limits?  What speed limits?  The mountain part of the course (for those who don't know) doesn't have any speed  limit at all.

That's the most understated hairpin bend sign I've ever seen. Not what you want as a guide in the dark.

 

 

Sorry, forgot to say thanks for the vids.
