By chance drove this stretch earlier today driving back from Cardiff and always fun to play 'what will the grazing sheep do next', a road to impress every time. As a bonus, spotted a Citroen Visa GTI going the other way, rare in their day and probably only a few left in the country now.

Yes that was me, my Visa GTi is great fun on that road – its one of four on the road in the UK. You may also see me in a BX 16V or Lancia Integrale on this road – apart from the driving the best aspect is that its always different and even in the wet is fun as long as clouds don't descend to cut visibility.

Pictures of the Visa and Integrale on the B4560 can be seen here:

The map in that video doesn't make sense; the east to west section from Llangattock looks to be no more than a narrow track according to the OS sheet. I assume the interesting bit runs north to south down to Beaufort?

There are two roads down to Llangattock, the higher of which is also a lovely drive... But does not have the childish fun of the hairpins on the B4560 itself.
