I have missed out Wales so need to go there!
 
Having travelled various parts of the world over the years I seem to have overlooked Wales! Having lived in the UK all my life that's pretty poor going. So aint got long just a few days of really for a quick jolly my question is :

1. Top? - Snowdonia Nat. park & Anglesey

2. Middle? - Shropshire Hills across to Aberystwyth

3. Bottom? - Brecon Beacons & Pembrokeshire

I have 4 days total - It will take more than half day to get there, same to get back. Just about the ride and nothing else on my trusty SR250.

In central Wales my two ''musts" are the back road from east of Aberystwyth to the Elan Valley (through Devil's bridge) and (my favourite) a tiny little road through Abergwesyn Common, over the devil's staircase, round Lynne Brianne and through Rhandirmwyn to Llandovery. Stunning.

Hope you enjoy.

Cheers
Andy

Nice Roads in North Wales
 
Go through Tanats Valley - Road from Oswestry across to Bala
A495 turns to B4396 then B4391 into Bala
From Bala take road across towards Traswfynnydd but take a right when going along there and head for Ffestiniog
A4212 out of Bala
B4391 to Ffestiniog

From here you can then take road towards Betws y Coed

Lots of options for places from here.

What I do now know is don't go in caravan season. There are millions of them, or at least every caravan on the planet trundling along all the lovely twisty scenic roads. Just had a few days there at it could have been so good.

I did a quick tour couple of weeks ago, with out a shadow of a doubt picked the wrong place and wrong time. Caravans everywhere! Terrible, did not enjoy.

Went again last weekend. :D Elan Valley area :thumbup1: Bliss. That road from Elan Village to Devils Bridge is great. More than makes up for he pack of 6 or 7 sheep dogs that attack me elsewhere.
