Good driving roads in south/west wales

[MG CHRIS]

Im planing a run with a few mates and wanted to use a different route have done most of the east wales roads and breacon area so fancied a change. Wanting to vist some of the roads around west wales heared the elan valley has some good roads.

So anybody got any good routes i would be looking at starting off at carfthya castle then going up to builth wells using the b419 then across would be an ideal route.
Any suggestions welcome.

West Wales but you want to include the Elan valley? which is very much mid Wales

Builth - Garth - Beulah - RIGHT for Newbridge on Wye - in NoW go Left on to A470 >> Rhayader -
left in Rhayader >> Elan valley -
Go thru the dams - then left on to Mountain Road from Elan valley naturally progress in to Ystwyth valley passing the lead mines >> Pontarfynach(Devil's Bridge)

you could carry on to Aberystwyth - that in itself is a nice run across the top or,
in Devil's Bridge, left for Tregaron
Depending upon the tme you have work your way from Tregaron >> Llyn Brianne >> Llandovery

Just a few ideas for now anyway

Thanks just the route in after. Sorry about the confusion i was after something different from the breacon area and east wales and wanted to go more west/ mid wales i always thought elan valley was west wales but depends what you class as west, south etc.

But that does sound good.

No worries
An easy mistake to make
Even Aberystwyth on the west coast is mid Wales

Whatever - enjoy
