Betws-Y-Coed - Evo Test Route
Discussion
Hi All,
Just wondered if any of you North Wales lot are also avid Evo magazine readers.
Does anyone here know the test route that they always write about around Betws-Y-Coed?
Or even better do you know of any great drives around that area that you have done yourself and loved?
Many Thanks,
MaKS

Thanks for you replies guys.
I guess I posted a little late (night before I was going) so wasn't really expecting too many replies in time.
Well I have just come back from 48hrs in North Wales and all I can say is I want to go back as soon as possible. Next time in my own car though, since I was in a hired Mazda 6 on this trip. I guess I could have been in worse cars since the Mazda 6 turned out to be not that bad a handler, and you always drive that little bit quicker when it is not your own car anyway
I basically headed for Betws-Y-Coed, since I had read the place name many times in Evo. We overnighted there. We wanted to walk part up Snowdon so we made our way to Llanberis. The A4086 is a beauty of a road in itself.
After Snowdon we went to Llyn Gwynant along the A498 and onto the A4085 at Nantmor. Then at Llanfrothen towards Rhyd on the B4410. Towards Ffestiniog on the B4391. I think it is here towards Yspytty-Ifan, somewhere on the B4391 or where it turns into the B4407 where you have an almost single track road that goes across the moors, that must be one of the best roads of the trip. You can see all the way along and road just undulates with corners thrown in. What a road. Then back onto the A5.
So, what do you guys think? Not a bad little trip for a North Wales novice only armed with a TomTom for guidance or should I have done better?
