As Luke says opinion vary.
What I will add is that I've done Scotland, Wales, Lake District and other part of OUR beautiful UK many, many times by bike (I've even done them towing a caravan) and none of the roads I've riden have the same characteristics as the Dragon... Not even a 37 mile road on an island that gets turned into a race track now and then. I'm not saying they're crap. Some of our road are awsome. Some that come to mind are from Tobermory via Criagnure to Iona on another island called Mull. North Road from Ullapool to Thurso is a stonker. I could go on.
You can't compare the Dragon to anything else. It wasn't my favorite road out there. As Luke says 28 was pretty special as was the Cherohala Skyway which is mind blowing but in a different way.
There's just something about the Dragon.

Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad
