I took an even more scenic route up from Hey to Newtown, then down and round the Brecons. Just about the best day I've ever had on a bike! Had a massive Very Happy

the whole way round.

Newtown

Builth Wells

Llandrindod Wells

Brecon (stopping off at the Honey Cafe at Bronllys for a meal, or Storey Arms between Brecon and Merthyr for a burger?)

maybe make your way down to Llandovery / Llandeilo

I've just been on a three day jolly to wales. The best roads I went on/were recommended were:

Llandrindod Wells to Aberystwyth (along the mountain road)
Llandrindod Wells to Newtown
Anything A470
Trawsfynydd to Bala (this was v. popular with bikes on the sunday)

My route was:

Newbury > Llandrindod Wells > Aberystwyth > Porthmadog > Llandugno > Bala > Newbury

530 miles in total, £80 petrol

https://www.tyddynllwyn.com/ Stayed here, is a top 100 site £18/night I would highly recommend it.

https://www.riversidecaravans.com/ This was our stop over £11/night more than adequate, biker friendly.

This website was posted a while ago, but everyone called it spam. I thought it to be pretty good. Especially the more routes that are added.

Give it a try, there are couple of other routes not already posted.
