North East Wales is within easy reach of Liverpool, Manchester and Chester, and it has some of the best-known driving roads in Britain. The Horseshoe Pass and the roads of the Evo Triangle are fixtures on car-club and bike-club calendars.
Fast, open moorland A-roads with long sweepers, plus tighter valley roads around Llangollen. Heavily used by enthusiasts, so police presence and speed enforcement are common.

Roads in the North East Wales
Horseshoe Pass
The A542 climbs from Llangollen past Valle Crucis Abbey and around a great horseshoe-shaped valley to the summit café. It is one of Britain's most popular biking roads and a busy weekend meeting point.
Evo Triangle
The Evo Triangle is a loop of the A543, B4501 and A5 over the Denbigh Moors, made famous by evo magazine's road tests. Fast, open moorland roads and Llyn Brenig make it a car-club favourite.
