R591 — Bantry to Rerrin
Ireland And Northern Ireland · measured from OpenStreetMap geometry
R591 runs 22.6 miles between Bantry and Rerrin. We counted 694 corners along it, which works out at 30.8 a mile — consistently twisty. It runs past the coast, mountain peaks, a river and open water. That is busier than two thirds of the roads we have measured in Ireland And Northern Ireland, where the median is 22.2 a mile.
Ridden together with R585 and Mealagh Valley 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.
