Anyone recognise this road?

As a new forum user, just realised I can't post links, but if someone else could for me that would be great. Just seen this road featured on an article about electric cars on GB News. It's under the following:

/lifestyle/cars/volkswagen-electric-vehicles-petrol-diesel-ban

Anyone know which road in the UK this is? Looks epic.

Here we are:



I was going to say Brecon Beacons straight off the bat. Reverse google search confirmed it .

"This photograph depicts the Black Mountain Pass (A4069) located in the Brecon Beacons National Park in South Wales.
Location: The road connects Llandovery in the north with Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen in the south."

Your not wrong...I drove it a couple of years back whilst on a family holiday up that way, but sadly we were fully loaded in the family van with trailer, so zero fun was had....it would be great to get back in the MX5!

Star of many Chris Harris videos with the occasional Top Gear appearance.

I believe it's average speed monitored and / or 40mph now?

Zoom out one click on the link I posted and you'll see the sign.
Average speed cameras were installed and activated in January 2024. They were subsequently vandalised rendering them inoperative.
So far, I don't think they have been repairef/reinstated but I could be mistaken.
