Black Mountain Pass (A4069)
A4069 Black Mountain Pass
A winding road over the western Black Mountains, with a series of hairpin bends and wild moorland views, praised as one of Britain's most beautiful driving routes.
The road links Brynamman and Llangadog and crosses the Black Mountain near Foel Fawr, with a series of hairpin bends. It became widely known after being featured in a car show. Near the pass there are places to stop and view the Tywi valley and the Carmarthenshire plains, and sheep and wild ponies are common on the moorland. Cyclists and motorbikes are common on summer weekends, so give way carefully. You can combine it with Carreg Cennen Castle and Llyn y Fan Fach in the same day.
