This route is not a million miles away from the Peak District. It goes through North Wales to Harlech and it’s such a lovely drive on a sunny day. I think a lot of it is not too busy (it’s the route I would take if the A55 was busy on a bank holiday). There are average speed cameras on the moors but it’s windy enough that I don’t think you’d want to go much faster.
I start in Mold, I take the A451 to Denbigh, I then head towards Bylchau on the A543 and keep on it until it reaches the A5. Then take the B4407 past Ysbyty Ifan to Ffestiniog (not Blanau Ffestiniog). Then join the A496 to Harlech.
You can mix it up on the way back and go via Ruthin or Corwen instead on Denbigh.
