Abergwesyn Mountain Road

The Abergwesyn Mountain Road starts in the village of Tregaron and passes through the Cambrian Mountains, it turns into a network of small roads which all lead to different villages, the recommended drive is to Llyn Brianne which is large reservoir and a nice place to stop

Mid Wales

18 miles

This road was driven by William Patterson and kindly sent in to Driving for Pleasure.

It’s a great place to take a small/light car and the road is also very close to a couple of the others that we have listed on the website – the A44 Aberystwyth to Llangurig and the Elan Valley.

As you leave Tregaron the road is lined with high hedges which makes visibility a bit tricky but a couple of miles in it starts to open up and it is then much clearer once you get into the hills.

The area is very sparsely populated but the road can be popular with tourists and bikers during the summer and there are the inevitable sheep (and cattle grids) to watch out for!

Given that it’s a little used single track road parts of the surface are a bit rough but generally its quite good (William only came across a couple of large pot holes when he drove it in January 2012).

The road undulates through the hills with lots of variety in terms of corners and crests and the scenery is lovely; a mix of open hills, forests, rivers and lakes.

If you do end up at Llyn Brianne there is a dam at the end of it which is a bit of a feature and William can recommend the Talbot Hotel in Tregaron as somewhere to stay or eat.
