Looked like Scotland, would love to drive that road if it's nearer to London. Anyone know what road it was?

Essex is certainly more likely than Herfordshire, haha. After watching the episode again, I'm 80% sure it's Scotland.

A93 around Braemar. The driving in town bit and the Tennis court was nearby in Pitlochry.

Further west as well.

Glen Garry and Loch Cluanie.

Couple of sections I didn't recognise, but will watch again and try and work them out.

Also a short stretch of the B862 from Fort Augustus to Whitebridge. I think the jump was there (next to the cattlegrid coming down towards Whitebridge from the viewpoint for those that know the road). Easy to safely get some good air there- 60mph will do it in my Honda Accord.

There were certainly a few sections in there that I didn't recognise, the ones I did have already been mentioned - The A93 also had a Dream Drives thread about it a few weeks ago, brilliant road.

Some of it was very much like the A832 to the west of Achnasheen.

The A93 section is south of the Glenshee Ski Lodge leading down to where the Devil's Elbow used to be before they realigned the road. Definitely Pitlochry - this sign is clearly visible in one of the shots. Several different points along the length of Loch Cluanie, this being just one of them.

yes Drove that road in April this year and can confirm low flying is definitely on the cards! The blind crest is here just before the cattle grid.
