 There are some Gravel roads in the Uk but the number that are maintained
are essentially a handful, and limited to the Military areas, and even then
unlikely to be anything as involved, part from anything they are likely to
be much less used, particularly by motor vehicles, tanks tend to use other
tracks!
 Salisbury plain <https://maps.app.goo.gl/ivUy1HMH3SzieZfy6> which is lovely
but not representative of uk Gravel which is more Bridleways and so on, so
you’d expect to encounter roots rocks and so on, sort of MTB light in many
ways.
 I like this Bridge personally, as one can play Pooh sticks with roadies!

 White downs the track not the road, is fairly representative really

 Even rights of ways that motorists can legal use, aren’t going to be wise
unless your 4x4/motorbike and you are prepared. Number of them close during
the winter to prevent damage to the right of way, and to prevent having to
recover vehicles.
 

Gravel roads in Australia are more like those in the US.
