B740 — Sanquhar to Lesmahagow
Great Britain · measured from OpenStreetMap geometry
B740 runs 12 miles between Sanquhar and Lesmahagow. We counted 358 corners along it, which works out at 29.8 a mile — consistently twisty. It runs past mountain peaks, a river, woodland and forest. That is busier than two thirds of the roads we have measured in Great Britain, where the median is 23.4 a mile.
Ridden together with B797 and B740 it makes about 18 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.
