Highlights along the Cambrian Way

Destinations along the Cambrian Way

Enjoy a great Welsh adventure along the Cambrian Way

Strap in for a wild ride along Wales’ mountainous spine. The Cambrian Way (not to be confused with the Cambrian Way coast-to-coast walk) is the ultimate cross-Wales road trip, taking you from the south to north coast via its most iconic cities, coast and countryside.

You can do the 185-mile (300km) route, following the A470 from Cardiff to Llandudno, in seven fun-filled days. From the cool and cosmopolitan Welsh capital, you’ll wind your way through the mining landscape of the south Wales valleys to Merthyr Tydfil. The Brecon Beacons (Bannau Brycheiniog) soon beckon: Soak up the atmosphere in the buzzing market towns of Brecon and Builth Wells, then follow the Wye and Elan Valleys to Llanidloes. On your way to Blaenau Ffestiniog, make a detour to the colourful Italianate village of Portmeirion, before immersing yourself in the slate-studded scenery of Snowdonia (Eryri). From Betws-y-Coed, it’s a short drive or train journey through the dramatic Conwy Valley to your final destination, Llandudno.

Once you’ve conquered the Cambrian Way, there are two more long-distance routes across Wales to explore: the Coastal Way and the North Wales Way. Together, the three make up the Wales Way and promise one epic Welsh adventure.
