Good roads from Newport to Swansea?

[MG]

Potentially riding from Bath to Swansea next week, and once I'm in Wales I really don't fancy riding on the M4, so what's a decent route?

At O you can drag it across to the A470 which is an epic road but shorter and ignore P

Cheers for that, but it's a bit long - I was hoping to keep it short whilst still getting in some decent roads.

What do you think to this?

The Bwlch (A4061 - A4107) is a great road, it's shut this Saturday because of the Olympic torch passing through the Rhondda. You could M4 it to Llantrisant (A4119) and follow the bypass up to Tonypandy and follow your planned route from there which would be quicker than travelling through Ponty in rush hour as there's road works everywhere at the moment.

You can gun it across the Bwlch, just watch out for lose chippings on some corners. Sometimes there's a mobile speed camera at the bottom of the mountain (Cymmer side) so be careful of that to.

Best road in Wales is the one out of it......(Not at all true, I have had so much fun on old mountain roads and ISDT routes, I love Wales)

Any road out of Newport is a good one....

Head to Caerphilly in the early evening to watch some dogging and then take a trip over the Neath bank down to the M4 in the dark. A great road best driven at speed in the dark.

Looks right to me.

When are you coming through? I live 5 minutes off the A4119, if you get lost or stuck shoot me a PM.

*Edit*
It's pronounced Ton-er-pandy, just so you know.
