Earlier this week we went to the Felinfach Griffin for a drive and lunch. We had a voucher to use for the food, a gift from sospan jnr.
Left Llanelli, joined M4 at J47, left at Llandarcy to take the A465 up the Neath valley. Road works being set up from Aberdulais to Resolven but nothing going on yet. Turned off at Hirwaun onto the A4059 through Penderyn. Lovely drive over the hills of Bannau Breicheiniog to join the A470 at the Beacons Reservoir near Storey Arms. A lot of sheep on the roadside so keen watching needed! Up to Brecon then the bypass around the town. Continued on A470 for about 4 miles to Felinfach. Turned off and parked up. Plenty of easy parking. Food was delicious, 3 course for £30. Been there before when vouchers were available!
Suitably fed and watered we took a different route back. Stayed on A470 up the Wye valley to Builth Wells. A483 down to Llandovery, A40 to Llandeilo, through the town, over the Tywi bridge, turned off towards Cross Hands. Joined A48 back down to pick up M4 at Pont Abraham, then off at J47 onto A4138 back to Llanelli.
These roads were taken due to some time constraints so other scenic routes left for another day.
The weather was superb, roof down and aircon kept our feet cool!
We are lucky having these routes easily accessible. If you have a whole day available even N Wales is an option.
