Does anybody have any recommendations for nice roads and interesting places along the south -eastern coast?
Thanks in advance
Head to Upper Brynamman, then go North over the top of the Black Mountain towards Llandovery. At Llandovery stop in the West Side Cafe (it’s a hidden gem)
From Llandovery, head to Sennybridge, then drop South again past the Cray Reservoir, back down towards Pontydulais. It’s about. 2 hour triangular loop of good roads.

Thank you very much for your suggestions
Much appreciated :thumbsup:
I will try to include them in our tour.
Are there any interesting car or bike museums along those routes? I have already got the Sammy Miller museum and Beaulieu on my radar.

Some interesting roads around Brecon and Builth Wells, we have regular runs between Brecon and Builth Wells via the Upper and Lower Chapel villages on the B4520. If you turn off onto the B4519 towards Garth some good view points along there.

I feel I need to go drive around that corner a few times. What a cracker it looks. 8) :thumbsup:

Shame about the sausages. :wink:
