A4061 — Bridgend to Hirwaun
Great Britain · measured from OpenStreetMap geometry
A4061 runs 24 miles between Bridgend and Hirwaun. We counted 639 corners along it, which works out at 26.6 a mile — consistently twisty. It runs past mountain peaks, a river, cliffs and open water. That is calmer than two thirds of the roads we have measured in Great Britain, where the median is 30 a mile.
Ridden together with Cwmcarn Forest Drive and Black Mountain Pass it makes about 23 more miles of the same kind of road.

How we measured it
Corner counts come from the road's own geometry in OpenStreetMap, not from ratings or votes. Every bend above a threshold of curvature is counted once, so two roads can be compared directly. Nothing here is crowdsourced and nobody paid to appear.
