Wales is a country full of hills and winding roads that are great for a motorcycle outing. While there are a large number of roads to choose from, the top 10 are listed below by region. As with any road trip make sure you have the essentials to hand, not forgetting your breakdown cover number, motorcycle insurance policy, spares, enough money, etc. Above all have fun!
North Wales - Beddgelert to Garreg
The road is short, just five miles once you find it, but it is one of the most scenic paths in Wales. Trailing through the Snowdownian Mountains, it has a number of sharp turns that will test your mettle. The road is smooth for the most part allowing an easy ride.
Capel-Curig- Llanrug -Caernarfon
This road leads off the A5 and runs about 18 miles. The road can be a bit rough in spots. The route starts out from the mountains with beautiful scenery, leads into the town of Llanrug which has gorgeous architecture and end at Caernarfon overlooking a river valley. As you approach the end, you may encounter some RAF jets out on flights from the RAF Valley below.
Bala to Trawsfynydd
The roadway runs 17.4 miles off the A494. This road has wide, sweeping turns and great scenery. The route has a reputation for bikers letting go at 90 mph even around the one hairpin turn. As such, the police are often out in force. Locals recommend riding the road sedately one way to check on the police, and if not there, letting it go on the way back. The gas station in Trawsfynydd takes only cash and is run by a grumpy guy who doesn't really like bikers.
Central Wales - Carew to Pembroke
This 2 mile section is short but has great views with winding turns. The road is smooth, and it is a fun and easy ride through Wales off of A477.
Brynamman to Llangadog
Loafing through the country, this 12.4 mile route has some of the greatest curves on roads in Wales. The roadway is not too smooth, but riders enjoy the scenery anyway. This roads runs over the Black Mountains and inattention can land you over a cliff or on some gravel covered roadsides. This is not for the beginner
Llandovy to Beulah
Running by the Llyn Brianne Reservoir, this road off the A484 runs through the Cambrian Mountains. This is a typical mountain road with dips, curves and turns, running through the area known as Little Switzerland. This road has very scenic forests and is especially nice during the winter if the road is open. Parts of this road are not very smooth or well paved. The road runs 22.4 miles and has some blind junctions.
Llandeilo to Carmarthen
This is a short cut around the A40 and traffic. This first part of this road is an open drag strip with visibility for miles. The road then leads into the hills were it meanders around some solid curves. Watch out for cross traffic.
Southeast Wales - Bacon's Reservoir to Rhigos
Running through the Dead Sheep Mountains, this 9.3 mile road runs along the reservoir. Off of A465, bikers often use any excuse to take this route. The winding road is a favorite and many feel the views from this road are the best in Wales. Watch out for the sheep, though.
