For the love of driving

What’s included?

The vaccines are finally providing us all with “light at the end of the tunnel,” or as we like to say “twisty tarmac over rolling hills,” and the Welsh countryside certainly offers that in abundance!

Combine rolling hills, wandering valleys, mountains and stunning coastline, that are all threaded with fantastic driving roads, Wales definitely has all the ingredients to make it a great place to kickstart that long awaited driving season.

Book with confidence and join us early June in your Super, GT or Sports car on our 3 or 4 night Drive Wales event and see what this classic Welsh road trip has to offer.

We have made some changes to the hotels since our last tour in Wales, adding an extra 1/2 day behind the wheel so you will get to enjoy the route even more in 2021.

    Itinerary

    Drive Wales | A Welsh Classic road tour

    Tuesday 8th June 2021 - **Pre night extension available at the 5* Celtic Manor Resort, the meeting point before departure on Wednesday lunchtime. Please contact us for more information if you fancy a relaxing start to your tour.

    Wednesday 1pm, 9th June 2021 - 115 miles | Newport to Hensol. The first leg of the event heads up into the valleys and across the Brecon Beacons, which includes some fantastic stretches over the open moorland. This is followed by some tighter, tree lined sections south of the Brecon’s in the Afan Valley on route to the Welsh wine region and the stylish Llanerch Vineyard Hotel, for the first official night of our Drive Wales tour. 

    Thursday 10th June 2021 - 220 miles | Hensol to Bala. Following a quick run up the motorway, the second leg takes in some of the best open roads South West Wales has to offer, including the roads on western edge of the Beacons made famous on Top Gear. This will be followed by an afternoon in the fantastic Elan Valley on it’s narrow but demanding roads, before heading north to our overnight stop at Lake Vyrnwy Hotel & Spa, and a beautiful 3 course dinner overlooking the stunning lake.

    Friday 11th June 2021 - 180 miles | Bala to Dolgarrog, Conway. The third leg will see us head west to pick up the stunning coastal roads to Barmouth, Harlech and onto Porthmadog. The morning route at sea level will contrast so well with an afternoon spent in the rugged Snowdonia mountains, taking in the magnificent views back down to the coast. The afternoon leg also includes one of our favourite stretches of tarmac anywhere in Europe, so we feel well worth doing in both directions, before heading north to our final destination at the Hilton Garden Inn Snowdonia in Conwy.

    Saturday 12th June 2021 - Home Time. Enjoy a lie in after a tough few days on the road and then a final chat over breakfast before heading for home. 

    **Pre night extension - £250 based on 2 sharing a room on a Dinner, Bed and Breakfast basis (subject to availability).
