Can’t help but avoid the M54/A5 today. Cosford Air Show is on.

You can park overnight in many carparks in South Wales, I think Hereford is one and visit cathedral and Mappa Mundy.
Ludlow is a lovely town but not sure about where to overnight.

Have changed my mind and now suggest going via Severn Bridge and Newport as the A470 is a lovely scenic road.
There is a fantastic campsite at the National Showcaves of Wales in Brecon Beacons.

Could I just gently point out that Hereford is not in South Wales!

Aberaeron 14 miles or so south of Aberystwyth, there's 2 campsites on the seafront less than 10 minute walk from the northern edge of the lovely town

The A470 skims past Betws Y Coed (A5). Just a minor diversion - about a mile or so - and it's lovely.

New Quay - just 5 miles South of Aberaeron - is much prettier.

If you are travelling through Powys as someone above says most of their public car parks welcome overnight parking, this is one that we use occasionally just outside Brecon.

This farm site just North of Llandrindod Wells has also served us well.

Erwood Train Station Cafe is also a pleasant overnight stop.

Or further North on the way out of Newtown towards Machynlleth just after the turn off towards Caersws there is a cafe with overnight parking beside.

Or even for a lunchtime or evening meal there is the Horseshoes Inn at Berriew

You would never guess that we wander mid Wales occasionally would you? But you will find us here now!!

Pepper Pot is brilliant

I’ll own up to that one, but I was looking at a google map route at the time, through Wales, then I remembered the overnighting rule in carparks, to Porthmadog, and saw Hereford on one of the routes!
