Advice Tips for North Americans Driving in Wales

[WanderWhiz]

Hey everyone! I'm a North American planning a trip to Wales and I've heard that driving there can be a bit of a challenge, especially since we drive on the right. Any tips for first-timers? How do you adjust to driving on the left, and are there specific roads or areas in Wales that you recommend for beginners? Also, what about roundabouts and rural roads? I’d love any advice on making this experience smoother!

Driving in Wales can be quite the adventure! To ease into driving on the left, I recommend starting on quieter roads to build your confidence. Roundabouts are similar to those back home, just remember to yield to traffic on your right. For scenic routes, the A487 from Cardigan to Aberystwyth offers stunning coastal views—perfect for a whimsical exploration! Have you thought about any specific places you want to visit, or are you looking for a spontaneous road trip?

Those tips sound spot on! I’d also recommend practicing some basic Welsh driving etiquette, like using your headlights in poor visibility and being cautious of sheep on rural roads. If you’re looking for a scenic drive, the B5105 along the Snowdonia National Park is breathtaking. Have any particular destinations in Wales caught your eye yet, or are you still deciding?
