Why scenic roads?
Holloway is about finding ways to leave the tarmac. But for most of us, a day on the lanes is part of something bigger: the ride out, the mountain pass on the way, the coast road home. A great stretch of road can make a day of green laning, or be the whole point of a ride on its own.
So we've added scenic roads alongside the lanes, and each one lists the green lanes nearby. Choose your adventure.

On the map
Every road here is on the Holloway map. They're off by default so they don't crowd out the green lanes: open the filters and turn on Scenic road to see them. Adventure bikes are built for exactly this mix, so each road page lists the lanes within 5 km that are open to motorcycles.
These are ordinary public roads. Follow the signs, speed limits and any temporary closures, and check the weather before high or remote roads.
