Great Road, drove it today, (by accident to avoid the slow traffic on the main route) it is super smooth and has great sight lines. Keep a look out for the sheep as they seem happy to sit on the edge of the road. Recommended 👌🏼
Quite a drop on the left as you climb up out of Llangynog and hairpin bend as you drop down to Bala. If coming from Bala make sure your brakes are ok going down towards Llangynog or prepare for your wings. Interesting fun run in wintertime
i went on this road hundreds of times in the 50s and 60s i n all sorts of cars, an uncle on a Maico scooter even....as you meet the valley down into llangynog there is a magic water fall....last time i was there in a mercedes April 14 2015
Nice landscape, I like remote moorland, but disappointed by the lack of Heather, which the moorlands of Scotland and to a lesser degree Northern England have in abundance. Overgrazing by sheep perhaps?
I live near Denbigh driving a Caterham 7, and of all the roads I've driven in north Wales, this is my perfect road. It's wide enough to be very safe at speed, loads of very fast bends, perfect road surface, great long distance visibility, very very quiet through remote countryside with great views and with few inhabitants so no danger to others. what's not to love! Way better than the Evo triangle imho. I get here via b4501 ( another almost as great road) all the way from home to the boring old A4212 (fast A road but so what...) then turn of to ecstasy of b4391. I am a lucky lucky man that I have such an hour of perfect enervating Caterham motoring excitement on my doorstep.
This is the back road from Blaenau. Most motorists use the main A4212 from Trawsfynydd, as its a much faster and quicker route towards Bala. That's why the B4391 is usually very quiet, as there are quicker ways for the locals to get to Bala. Unlike the Cerigydridion to Ruthin EVO Triangle, the B4391 has not received the attention of speeding motorists, so there is never any police activity, and there's certainly no speed camera vans along its stretch.
Scared of heights. That was the reason I drove from Brighton to Snowdon this weekend. To conquer it... I did not know about this road!! At night, wet in an Mr2.. My God several times during the journey I had to stop to psyhe myself up.. Middle Lane at times people overtaking me whilst I done 5 miles an hour.. Didn't know this was a famous road and meant to be one of the best roads in the UK.. Going back today and going to go this way back during the day. Hopefully I'm more confident now after seeing this. Thanks.
there are a number of roads that scare the Sh out of me, but travel them in pretty much the same way you have to conquer my fear, I think the higher seating position in a berlingo or dispatch makes it worse.
You must be a bit more adventurous. Try the Tregaron to Abergwesyn mountain road, or the Cwmystwyth to Rhayader road passing the top end of the Elan Reservoir or my favourite, the mountain road from Staylittle to Machynlleth where the road falls away on both sides on little more than a single track road.
Came across this road in the very late sixties, you're correct it is brilliant
Stunning road. We really do live in a beautiful country!

Thanks for sharing, drove this road yesterday for the first time and what an absolute gem!! A definite must!
Absolutely amazed. Thanks for posting. From Australia.
North Wales is truly one of the most beautiful places on Earth

I will be there one day, thank you for sharing!

The B4391 is such an underrated road. The section between Llangynog and Bala is currently my favourite stretch of road I've driven.

A4212 boring? 🙄
@Blackporsche roadster I am very jealous of the amazing roads near you. For me it's a 5 hour drive!
I always enjoyed Aberystwyth to Llangurig .. great mountain vistas
I've yet to get a clear run, but that is a great bit of road!

I just hope that those who drive stupidly fast don't ruin this road, like they have the Evo Triangle.
I like the silence!!!
Bit of a mic issue on the camera. You can just hear the engine with the volume up very loud!

Brilliant to hear you have been facing your fear. I hope you beat it and it inspires you to take on more adventures!

First model Mv -Augusta 800cc great times- Honda civic 99'vti with R mods fantastic Drive..Cymru Am Byth..
Where is all the traffic? Lovely

Been there done them, videos are on the channel. The Abergewsyn mountain road is fun, but too blind and narrow for full commitment.
Love those 3 rds
Fantastic video and one of if not the best driving route in Wales. What car were you driving?
Must have been hot summer, the grass looks parched
The ground is rarely parched in wet Wales but for the most part changes from green to brown during winter.
..Am azing ..very scenic...through the middle of nowhere...would love to ride that on the Bike....where in Wales is this B4381..??
It runs from Ffestiniog to Llangynog. There are many amazing roads in the north of Wales woth visiting!
Stunning - how did you get rid of the traffic?
Stinger traps at either end!!
I became friends after watching your whole video. I hope you will make me a friend
Who is he driving the car to go through in Wales? It the sign says B4391.
This is only one part of the road though, you need to do the B4391 Bala to Llangynog too!
That can be found here 🙂 th-cam.com/video/wwR0-gPHLEY/w-d-xo.html
Llandeilo to Lampeter via Talley or the other way? After the lakes there are some great B roads heading towards Newquay
Quite scary in the wet with mist on a motorbike.
The first time I drove it was in thick fog so bad I could barely see past the bonnet!
Wtf do tbe put lines though letters NOWT else to DO huh???
Are there no shoulders on British roads?
we only really have a hard shoulder on our Motorways. A Motorway is the equivalent of what the Americans call the Highway.
Great road just watch out for sheep.
Y gorau am beth? ( Best for what?)
