The Best UK Driving Roads for Supercars
2025-12-05
From the sweeping passes of Snowdonia to the dramatic curves of the Scottish Highlands, these are the roads that make hiring a supercar worth every penny.
Why the UK Is a Supercar Paradise
Britain may not have the endless straights of the Autobahn or the cliff-hugging drama of the Amalfi Coast, but what it does have is arguably better: an extraordinary density of brilliant driving roads packed into a relatively small island.
Snake Pass, Derbyshire (A57)
Connecting Sheffield to Manchester through the Peak District, the Snake Pass rises to over 500 metres with long sweeping bends and dramatic moorland views. Best driven early on a weekday morning.
Distance: 14 miles | Best in: A Porsche 911 Turbo — composed and rewarding on technical tarmac.
Cat and Fiddle, Cheshire to Derbyshire (A537)
Running from Macclesfield to Buxton, the Cat and Fiddle climbs through exposed moorland with fast, open corners and long visibility. Drive it at a sensible pace and you will find it wonderfully rhythmic.
Distance: 7 miles | Best in: A McLaren 720S — light, agile and devastating through fast direction changes.
A82 through Glencoe, Scottish Highlands
The A82 from Glasgow to Fort William threads through Glencoe with mountains rising on both sides and waterfalls cascading down granite faces. The scenery is so extraordinary that you will want to stop repeatedly.
Distance: 90 miles | Best in: An Aston Martin DB11 — a true grand tourer for a truly grand landscape.
Cheddar Gorge, Somerset (B3135)
A dramatic limestone gorge in the Mendip Hills offering tight, winding switchbacks through towering cliffs. Short but intense.
Distance: 3 miles | Best in: A Ferrari 488 — compact enough for the tight bends, vocal enough to echo off the cliffs.
Black Mountain Pass, Carmarthenshire (A4069)
Deep in the Brecon Beacons, long open corners sweep across exposed hillside with views that stretch for miles. The closest you will get to an Alpine pass without leaving the UK.
Distance: 10 miles | Best in: A Lamborghini Huracán — the drama of the V10 against the silence of the Welsh hills is unforgettable.
The Evo Triangle, North Wales
Named by Evo magazine, this triangular route links the A543, A5 and B4501. The roads are fast, flowing and remarkably well-surfaced. Most drivers loop it two or three times because it is that good.
Distance: 22-mile loop | Best in: Anything mid-engined — the balance and feedback through these corners is sublime.
Cotswolds B-Roads, Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire
Not a single road but a network between Stow-on-the-Wold, Burford, Bibury and Cirencester. Honey-stone villages, rolling farmland, and roads that dip and weave through valleys. In a grand tourer with the roof down, it is pure contentment.
Distance: Varies — plan a 60-mile loop | Best in: A Porsche 911 Turbo or Aston Martin DB11.
