Where in the UK are the quietest roads for cycling

[al78]

I would have thought Caithness/Sutherland (the far north of Scotland). The total population of that vast area is roughly equivalent to an average sized UK town. When I cycled from Bonar Bridge to Inchnadamph back in July I only saw no more than a dozen cars in three hours, and that was on one of the main roads at the height of the tourist season.

Northumberland and Scottish borders. Can't be beat!!

+1 you can cycle for hours in wonderful countryside without seeing a car.

Truth is North Northumberland and the Scottish Borders is an appalling place, bad weather, bad roads, bad scenery, huge badly driven lorries, wall to wall 4x4s and a culture of drink driving, and the natives are even worse .... better off staying down south, thats what I say.

In that case I must go - I like a challenge

Just to do a bit of quiet touring
Is Norfolk ok, maybe flat like Drenthe in the Netherlands
Open to advice

Many Thanks

Are these of any help?
