A470 voted top road for driving holiday
Jun 3 2010 by Hywel Trewyn, North Wales Weekly News
THE A470 between Cardiff and Llandudno has topped a list of UK motorists favourite drives.
Research by motoring and leisure association CSMA of 3,000 drivers showed most planned to take a UK driving holiday this summer as well as weekend breaks.
The top scenic roads and destinations for motorists were the M6 motorway through the Lake District; the coastal drive in Cornwall; Southwards to Ullswater and the mountainous A470 taking in the Brecon Beacons and Snowdonia national park.
CSMA chief Mark Rothery said: “This research coupled with feedback from club members confirms that British drivers are still in love with our beautiful countryside.
“And as we live on a relatively small island most of us can get to stunning scenery within an hour or two.”
