Pembrey. It's short enough at 1.5 miles to learn quickly but has a variety of corners to learn, eg. A fast kink, hairpin, double apex left, medium speed right handers etc and you can always get an instructor to show you round.
Otherwise, Mallory and Llandow are short and easy to learn, and cheap, but both are pretty rubbish. ____________________ Triumph Daytona 675 track bike + girlfriend's Honda Hornet 600

The easiest thing to do is go to your local track if you have one, if you have a choice let us know and we can advise.
I did an evening taster at my local track Oulton park and have since done a few full days there. People will say it's one of the harder tracks to ride well at and that's true but I've found it fine and love the place. Obviously most trackdays are grouped so you will be on track with people of similar ability and speed.
Anglesea is a nice place and easy to work out and easy to lap pretty quickly though I did have my one and only off there!
Donnington park is another great track, brilliant to be on the same tarmac as the greats you've seen on tv. Like Oulton it's harder to work out and get round quickly but as a novice that shouldn't worry you. It's about having fun and learning at a steady pace. I can't see why craner curves would catch you out as you won't be going fast enough!
Get on track, take your time and enjoy yourself. Always worth watching youtube vids over and over so you know which way to go.
Best tip I can give you is to find braking points and use them, gradually shorten them as you feel you can. The amount of people on track who are riding like the road and just bracking when they think is amazing.
