Default Good roads in Herts

After a nice day out on the A/B roads thought it might be a good idea to share decent roads in Herts with anyone that knows or cares

B656 - Old Welwyn to Hitchin
A507 - Baldock to Buntingford
B655 - Hitchin to Barton-Le-Clay
B158 - Hertford to Brookmans Park

Any others?

Another vote for the A507 out of Buntingford. Real nice bit of road right on my door step, surface needs a bit of work recently (as do most roads!) It's very popular with bikers so always give your blind spot a look!

There is a stretch of the B1000 out of Hertford towards Digswell/Welwyn if you're out that way which while not very long has as a hysterial set of S bends with graident and camber which are a giggle.

I agree with the A47. Drove it going to scoobyworld and agree with dabiscuit. Wide, good surface, undulations, not quite twisty enough but still good fun. They do have mobile camera units on the dual carriageway sections though.
