What makes this road special

Known globally as the 'Top Gear Road' after Jeremy Clarkson was filmed driving it in a Mercedes CLK Black Series. Crossing the western side of the Brecon Beacons in Wales, it twists through open moorland with perfect visibility, allowing you to see corners far in advance. It features a famous hairpin known as the 'Cuckoo Turn'.
