Self-Drive Supercar Hire in Gloucester

The A4136 west from Gloucester cuts directly into the heart of the Forest of Dean, one of England's oldest royal forests. The road climbs through dense oak woodland with long, clear straights and sweeping bends past Mitcheldean and Cinderford — perfect for hearing a Ferrari 812 GTS or Lamborghini Huracán at full voice. The forest roads themselves offer a more technical, closed-in driving experience that rewards precision and commitment. Total loop from Gloucester and back: approximately 50 miles.

Just 8 miles east of Gloucester, the B4073 climbs the Cotswold escarpment past Painswick — one of the most beautiful villages in England — toward the open limestone plateau above. The road offers long downhill straights, sweeping curves, and spectacular views back over the Severn Vale toward the Welsh hills. Continue east to Bourton-on-the-Water, Burford, or Chipping Norton for a full Cotswolds supercar day that takes in quintessential English countryside at its most cinematic.

North of Gloucester on the A417, the road crosses the Severn Vale with the Malvern Hills rising dramatically to the west — a 9-mile ridge visible for 40 miles. The A449 through Great Malvern and up to the Worcestershire Beacon viewpoint is one of the finest accessible hill drives in the region, with panoramas stretching from the Black Mountains to the Cotswolds on a clear day. Return via Ledbury and the A417 for a 60-mile loop that showcases the best of the Gloucestershire and Worcestershire countryside.
