I would say that in Wales it's the best to avoid main roads... like A5. Plenty to see there. I have detailed vids with maps on my channel if anyone's looking for interesting spots. Cheers.

On the subject Welsh tours, have you all seen this new Snowdonia 360 loop? https://www.snowdonia360.com/
Basically, a marketing thing from Welsh tourist board and MCN to provide an alternative to the Scottish NC500 route. Look pretty decent route around North Wales, with lots of tie in with local accommodation, restaurants and tourist attractions.

Rode some of this route whilst touring there in August just gone, but I'd definitely be up for heading back to Wales to do this route in 2021 once the Covid restrictions ease.

Following on from our NC500 trip last month I have Wales set as my next potential destination (it or Spain). Looks like some fantastic roads too. Wales is also very handy to Ireland in terms of getting there (Ferry from Dublin to Holyhead)

Off to the 'tube I go for ideas...

Some roads to try from the top of my head, bias towards south wales as thats where I'm from
A4059: A470 to Penderyn
A4069: Pont Aber to Brynamman
A40: Abergavenny to Llandovery
A483: Builth Wells to Newtown
A5: Llangollen to Bangor

Reccomended as I just did this one a few weeks ago
A4086 through Llanberis then A498 past mt snowdon
