A5074 — Bowland Bridge to Bowness on Windermere
Great Britain · measured from OpenStreetMap geometry
A5074 runs 6 miles between Bowland Bridge and Bowness on Windermere. We counted 234 corners along it, which works out at 39 a mile — corner after corner with no let-up. It runs past mountain peaks, cliffs, a waterfall and a river. That is busier than two thirds of the roads we have measured in Great Britain, where the median is 30 a mile.
Ridden together with Hardknott & Wrynose Passes and B6479 it makes about 22 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.
