Starting at Craig-y-Nos Country Park, this circular drive heads towards Sennybridg. The scenery gives a rally-stage feel before you join the A4069 for the dramatic Black Mountain crossing, looping back through Ystradgynlais to complete the drive.
Combine the A4069 Black Mountain crossing with the A4067 past the Cray country, returning along the A40. This middle-length circuit focuses on the two broad mountain-road sides without the extra eastern valleys of the Brecon grand tour.
Spend a full driving day linking the Black Mountain, central Bannau Brycheiniog roads and the Epynt crossing. The A4069 and B4560 are the headline sections, with valleys and open uplands joining them into a substantial circuit.
Combine the A479, the A470 Storey Arms crossing and the B4560 over Llangynidr Mountain into a substantial eastern Bannau day out. The A465 supplies the southern link, and the Usk-side return closes the loop without repeating the mountain roads.
Driving times exclude stops. Leave time for the views, check each route’s notes and make the journey your own.
