S18 RSG 429 Report post Posted February 27, 2017 Depends how far into Wales you're willing to come, but all around Brecon Beacons there are some phenomenal roads (black mountains were used on old Top Gear hundreds of times). A little further north you can go to Elan Valley, which is perhaps a little trickier for passionate driving, but some epic scenery. Then of course up in North Wales you have Snowdonia, Evo Triangle, Llanberis and loads more. You could honestly spend 3-4 days just touring Wales and never get bored.

richardcarman 29 Report post Posted February 27, 2017 Yeah I was planning a weeks trip, with majority in Wales, thinking Devon, Cornwall then Wales. I had planned snowdonia and evo I'll look into the other, cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falix 22 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 I'd just do Wales to be honest! I've done Breacons and Elan valley and both are cracking! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S18 RSG 429 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 Not sure if this will help you, but this is a route I designed a while back for my previous club. This is a route we drove multiple times, usually over 2 or 3 days, staying at a few hotels along the way. There are a few other roads you miss out on by taking this route, but I think on balance you probably experience the most diverse routes this way. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.4536713,-4.0807882,9z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!6m1!1s10kiEJIMl6CDKEP58a-uUJNNoE6g Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Smith 156 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 Cornwall is a f#@$€&g awful place to drive around. Unless you are in to surfing steer clear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bfranklyn86 52 Report post Posted February 28, 2017 In Devon, there is a country back road from Starcross up Telegraph hill to the A380. It runs from the back of the oak meadow golf club. Its got a long straight at the start, then a nice windy hill climb. However it's only like 10 minutes of driving, so I wouldn't travel far just for that!
