Britain's 'best drives' revealed

The M25 was voted worst driving experience

The best drives in Britain are to be found in remote corners of Scotland and Wales, according to a survey of sports car owners.

The "breathtaking" A87 between Invergarry and the Isle of Skye in Scotland came top of the list for drivers of the classic sports car, the Caterham 7.

Those deemed the worst are around London, unsurprisingly.

In particular the M25 between junctions 5 and 21 was voted the worst stretch of road and dubbed "the antithesis of driving".

The top four British driving experiences are all to be found in Scotland and Wales, the poll found.

The A87 won most votes because of its "challenging turns and almost traffic-free motoring".

Second best was the A4086 Pass of Llanberis at Snowdonia National Park in north Wales, with the A827 around Loch Tay, Scotland, in third place.

After the M25, the second worst drive was judged to be the A303 on the route from London to the South West as it is often jammed by convoys of caravans.

The Caterham drivers also had little time for the entire M1 and the A34 from Bloxwich to Cannock in the West Midlands because of the number of speed cameras.

Caterham Cars managing director Simon Nearn said: "Too many people have forgotten how much pleasure you can get from driving down a quiet country road with its variety of corners, views and challenges.

"With all the headlines about congestion, speed cameras and poor road surfaces, it is easy to forget that driving can be such a positive experience."
