Best driving roads in ........ south wales!

[Tom C]

Ok am aiming to get over to south wales in the next few weeks, mostly for photography reasons, but where are some interesting areas to go to, Just thought id ask on here since there seems to be a good mix of people interested in photography and petrol heads!

I once drove my company Escort Van ( E reg 4 speed ) from Llanelli through Langadog, up through Lampeter and back to Eclleshall in two hours flat. That was in 1990 and the van needed a new clutch. It was ONE OF THOSE DRIVES that you occasionally have. I had a serious bollocking off my MD of the time and I believe I was taken off the road after that. There are some cracking roads though Tom. Brecon and Epynt spring to mind. Gabriel may wish to add to this. Gabe???
