Good Roads for a Tourist
Discussion
Llyn Brianne is not far away. Many options down that part of the world and there is a nice place, among many others, called Porthgain, nice place for a stop. Last time I went there there was a pub called the Sloop Inn(?) that did excellent crab sandwiches, locally caught. Bread may have been out of a packet though Roads to Broad Haven etc are in the area.

Yep did Llyn Brianne with Elan Valley
I'm from Rhossili and now live in Three Crosses but the thirty years between them I lived all over the world and the UK. Gower will be packed to the hilt with drivers stopping to feed the wild pony's on Cefn Bryn, stopping with no warning to look at the scenery. If you can get in the King Arthur at Reynoldstone they do nice food and have Ferrari owner meeting there occasionally. If you want nice roads stay out of wales. Nothing but potholes and general poor condition. The welsh assembly in its wisdom spends forty percent less on welsh roads than the english. The scenery is great, sun sets at Rhossili the best campsite (Penmaen) in europe and Three Cliffs has been voted best beach in the UK. The roads are sh*t. Maybe the the road from the King Arthur towards Swansea is quite nice, it has some fast bends and strights. Just watch out for the sheep!

Your in the wrong place mate. The roads around the Gower are no good for driving. You need to go to mid & north Wales.

No I'm in the right place.
Gower is just where we are staying (for the great location and Three Cliffs Campsite as DorCRX says) the rest of Wales is our playground for driving. As mentioned above the spectacular Llyn Brianne and Elan Valley have already been given the once over.

Thanks DorCRX. The King Arthur was a great place to drink & eat a real gem. We had a great week in Gower, not too crowded at all. We didn't do any driving really just chilled out.
If anyone's interested I'll be posting an early morning run up the backbone of Wales - Brecon to Bleanau Ffestinniog (sp?) from the Midlands, but it would be good to meet up with some local PH'ers as well.
