driving

There is a lot of beautiful countryside and mountain scenery to be seen in Swansea Bay and the wonderful Brecon Beacons National Park lies just north of the region. Here are some recommended driving routes:

M4 Motorway J43 - Neath - Glynneath - Hirwaun - Brecon - Sennybridge - Abercraf - Pontardawe - M4 Motorway J45

This is quite a long drive which will take several hours and a fairly sporty car is recommended. Exit the M4 Motorway at Junction 43 and on the roundabout head onto the A465 road. The A465 is known locally as the Heads of Valleys Road. Once past neath, the road heads up the beautiful Vale of Neath with a wide valley floor with lakes flanked by steep wooded hills on both sides. At Hirwaun, head onto the A4059, which leads to a gentle climb into the central Brecon Beacons. Once in the mountains, the A4059 becomes a twisty country road with lots of sweeping ups and downs. Beware of sheep crossing the road in this section. The A4059 descends and meets the A470. Head north on the A470. The A470 passes by the western tip of ridge line which includes Pen-y-Fan the highest peak in south Wales. Further north, the A470 crosses the side of a deep U-shaped valley. Head onto the A40 westwards at Brecon. Then at Sennybridge, head onto the A4067 known as the Swansea Valley Road. The road passes scenic spots like the Cray reservoir and continues all the way to Swansea where the M4 can be re-joined at Junction 45.
