"THE A470 through Snowdonia National Park and the Brecon Beacons has been named Britain’s favourite road, in a survey of drivers by Shell.

The road, which runs from Llandudno on the north coast of Wales to Cardiff in the south, is 178 miles long. It is a mix of single-carriageway roads in good condition and wide, free-flowing dual carriageways, and passes through some of the finest countryside in the UK."

“Nothing behind me, everything ahead of me, as is ever so on the road.”
― Jack Kerouac, On the Road
