Sneaking driving enjoyment into family holiday (I.e. not M4)
Discussion
Would anyone be kind enough to let me benefit from your experience of South Wales driving route knowledge, please?
I thought it might be a commonly asked question, but a bit time with the search function didn't get me quite what I was after...
We're due to make our annual family trip from London to Pembrokeshire in the not too distant future, and this year I've got the option of using a decent car for the trip. However, sitting on the M4/A48/A40 all the way from the Severn to Saint Clears seems a waste of a good opportunity (and a V12...) given the stories I hear of great driving roads a bit further north. Are there any alternative routes anyone can suggest that would incorporate some decent driving roads without adding more than an hour or two to the overall trip (obviously I will be explaining it to the family as a short cut...)
A bit of Googling suggests Severn Bridge to Chepstow / B4235 and A472 to Usk and on via B4598 to Abergavenny / A465 to Neath, and then back onto the M4 as perhaps a decent option? Or maybe stay north a bit longer from Gilwern to Sennybridge and then back to Carmarthen on the A40?
Thanks in advance
