Great Roads for the best drives

[indublin]

Well just booked a last min ferry to Holyhead (going to Leeds) and I fancied having a bit of fun "sans wife" and I remembered the road in Wales, but I cant seem to find it. Before anyone says "your going the long way" as I said no wife = road fun! So can anyone help, where is this road? I thought the post was stikkie'd

A great drive for me is to start at Worcester, A44 all the way to Rhayader, left onto the A470 down to Builth Wells, right onto the A483 to Llandovery, Lower Rd to Llangadog, left onto the A4069 through the Brecon Beacons National Park and then back home via a different route.

Most of the roads on the trip are VERY enjoyable to drive but the A4069 through the Park is quite simply THE BEST DRIVING ROAD I’VE EVER BEEN ON, it’s amazing! Good road surface, 2 lanes (not too tight), sharp corners, sweeping corners, undulation and visibility is really good so you can take the racing line a lot.

I’ve added a map below for anyone interested in doing the drive.




A few pics, best bit isn't visible here. Might take some more when I go again!

Just out of interest how much did ya pay for the ferry? We are thinkin of doing the same thing but going to dublin via holyhead in a couple of weeks however I cant find a crossing much under £240.

Just to let you know Wales is full of amazing driving roads, especially around Snowdonia. 

Here is the un-stickied sticky you seek. 

PS good luck finding the road your looking for in that lot.

My favorite road has to be from My house to the local Burger king

Well, if you advertise it as from BK to your house, then whenever any poster tries the road, they might bring some BK with them!

Dave Fish,

I live in Brynamman which is just south end of your coloured in section - not to be biased - but it is the best road I have ever driven and I travel a lot !!! The way to travel it is to come from the Brynamman side and head towards Llangadog - that is the most pleasing in my belief any how. The hair pin at the top for your information is known as Tro'r Gwcw, - cwcw's bend !

its a bit of a trek but my best road is the furkapass in switzerland (not forgetting thet germany is in between and the ring is on the way back)going south to north, its full of very tight harpins and fast straights then on the way back down the otherside theres 300ft drops with only a piece of rope in places to stop you going over so masses of concentraition needed also was diverted over an old mountain road which was cobbles, excellent in the dry bloody lethal in the wet.

I have only driven it the other way. I'll give it a go that way next time! Next challenge for me is to do the Evo triangle.
