Wales is a fairly compact country, but it’s home to some outstanding scenery. Here are some of the best drives to take during your trip.
The first option is a jaunt along the River Wye, which marks the border between England and Wales. Start at 11th-century Chepstow Castle, and then visit Tintern Abbey, a set of 12th-century monastic ruins, before following the river along to Hay-on-Wye.
The Brecon Beacons are a famous spot for outdoor adventures, but you can also appreciate them from your car. The Abergavenny-Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen route takes you through some spectacular scenery, and even includes the Black Mountain Pass, one of the most famous drives in the United Kingdom.
If you want to look at the sea, try the Pembrokeshire coast for some beach-hopping between Tenby and St Davids. You’ll get to see resort towns like Tenby and idyllic beaches such as Barafundle Bay. Make sure you stick around for sunset over the water.
Some may sniff at a road trip that covers just 20 miles, but the Abergeswyn Pass is an intense experience. Deep in the Cambrian Mountains, this old sheep track is steep and winding, demanding of both driver and car. Make sure you are prepared.
