Dartmoor is great in theory but I've been scared a few times up there. The roads are so sweeping it's easy to start pushing but I've often come over a crest to see a sheep/ pony/ coach / sunday driver and had to bung the brakes on.
Last summer was going to Burrator Resevoir to go boating and have a BBQ. I wanted a few beers so didn't drive. What I didn't know was that the guy who would be driving only passed 2 weeks before and wasn't confident enough to go on the dual carriagway. Now there are certain roads I don't want to be on with a new driver, one of them has to be between Exeter and Moretonhampstead :eek: I sat in the front and have never been more scared in my life. Either the guy knew the width of his car really well or we were very close to an accident. For some reason he used to speed up for corners and I was s***ing myself. At one point we came over a hill and he bunged the brakes on so hard that they went all spongy and were struggling to stop. not good. Next time I'll drive :D
My most recent drive that can be done locally is a sort of Exeter circuit, you come across a few traffic lights but it's great fun at night when you can really put your foot down. (BTW it's not around the city centre so I'm not a total chav.

Bit of a bump, But Epynt is generally a good bit of fun. Just watch out for the shooting if the army are out.
A470 Brecon way is pretty decent but has a fair few sunday drivers and tractors.
A40 is alright aswell for a shortish road but Im sure you can fit a route between A470-A40-A48-M4 and back round or miss the M4 and add ages onto your journey but try to find a route down the coast?
