Top scenic lanes in Devon


Ok guys, Im looking for nominations for the top scenic lanes or series of lanes in Devon,  its gotta be worth driving to on its own merits. 

The lane itself can be challenging or easy, to qualify its just gotta have a cracking view or something that makes it extra special. 

Please post your favourite lanes below ( lane numbers please) with a explanation why you think they are so good.

192-170 has to be the best/easiest good view if you like cliff and sea.
I would wager that North Devon has a few with a view also.

202-329 Climb onto the trig point and savour most of south devon. 360 degree views ranging from Western Beacon to East Hill and Brixham to Lyme Regis

Or 191-084 for that get away from it all middle of nowhere moorland view

201-038. Sit on the bench on the open moor (at 45 secs on vid below)and look out over the Tamar across East Cornwall. This lane is well worth the journey. 'Not for the faint hearted' says the overlay comment. A cracking climb and a long open moor section with extensive views

192-170 does indeed have a wonderfully framed view which can induce vertigo
