A470 road
The A470 (also named the Cardiff to Glan Conwy Trunk Road) is a trunk road in Wales. It is the country's longest road at 186 miles (299 km) and links the capital Cardiff on the south coast to Llandudno on the north coast. While previously one had to navigate the narrow roads of Llanidloes and Dolgellau, both these market towns are now bypassed due to extensive road modernisation. The 26 miles (42 km) from Cardiff Bay to Merthyr Tydfil are mainly dual carriageway, but most of the route from north of Merthyr to Llandudno is single carriageway.

A465 road
The A465 is a trunk road that runs from Bromyard in Herefordshire, England to Llandarcy near Swansea in south Wales. The section from Abergavenny to the Vale of Neath is commonly referred to as the Heads of the Valleys Road because it links the heads of the South Wales Valleys. The western half in Wales is officially known as the Neath to Abergavenny Trunk Road. The Heads of the Valleys Road from Abergavenny to Merthyr Tydfil was built in 1812. A 23-year long major upgrade programme converted the road into a dual carriageway in each direction and was finally completed on 31 May 2025.

Approximately following the southern boundary of the Brecon Beacons National Park, the Ordnance Survey Pathfinder guide describes it as the unofficial border between rural and industrial South Wales. The A465 provides an alternative route between England and the counties in South West Wales and to the ferries to Ireland.
