Exeter

Plymouth

There's something very pleasant about the stretch of A38 that connects Exeter to Plymouth - is it the homely title, the lovely scenery or perhaps the very striking names of the villages it passes?

Spaghetti Junction recipe 20 April 2018

Back in 1972, one Birmingham newspaper found Spaghetti Junction so devilishly complex that it published a pull-out-and-keep guide to navigating it.

What's new

A walk on the M621

Fancy a stroll? In 1972, the City of Leeds was about to open its new South East Urban Motorway and proudly showed off the achievement with a "walkabout" event.

Surprise! A new motorway

Appearing unexpectedly on signs in Lincolnshire last week, a brand new motorway has suddenly come into existence. And it's a weird one.

Imperfectly Odd: the Strensham Loop

For a while, the M5 ended at a 270-degree loop - but long after the motorway was extended, it kept on catching drivers unawares. But it left behind an unexpected legacy of safer driving.

Have you seen...

It crosses cattle grids and untamed moorland, it climbs 1-in-4 hills and plummets through hairpin bends, it runs single-track through woodland and historic villages. It's rugged and beautiful. Is it really the A39?
