What makes this road special

A stunning coastal cruise connecting Somerset to Cornwall. The highlight is the section through Exmoor National Park, which includes the infamous Porlock Hill (the steepest A-road in the UK). It offers a rhythmic drive with constant views of the Bristol Channel, winding through ancient oak woodlands and rugged cliff tops.
