I'm thinking Peak District is possibly the best location...
It has three great driving roads:
Cat 'n' Fiddle - Buxton to Maccclesfield
Snakes Pass - Sheffield to Glossop
Mam Tor - Edale to Hope
Hotels arent looking too much either, there are a lot for less than £100 for the night. (I did a Trivago search for Peak District)
I think if we want driving roads, we could do Snakes Pass and Mam Tor in the same day, not sure if all 3 would be doable in one day, especially with people driving a fair bit already.
@theoldboy will be happy with lots of country pubs and beers/ales on tap!
Has anyone stayed in the Peak District before that can recommend a location?
