Route Notes

This route takes in the legendary 'Evo Triangle' moors before heading deep into the Arenig mountains. It is a masterclass in North Wales driving, featuring everything from fast, open moorland sweepers on the A543 to the tight, technical forested hairpins of the southern B4501. The scenery is wild and varied, crossing several high passes and skirting the shores of Llyn Brenig and Llyn Celyn. Expect minimal traffic and maximum engagement.
