It promises some of the most beautiful scenery in Wales, yet this passenger's journey went wrong
Travelling by bus may conjure up images of traffic jams on the daily commute, yet that’s not always the case. Throughout the UK there are dozens of scenic bus routes which take you through stunning landscapes, past sleepy villages and across national parks.
With the timetable duly noted, I climbed aboard my home for the next three-and-three-quarter hours and purchased a single ticket to journey's end. £9 was the fee which, for a total journey of over 100 miles, didn't seem too shabby at all. We soon hit the open road, however, and the first genuinely nice view was fast approaching in the shape of Castell Coch, a stunning Gothic castle which rises up from the ancient woods of Fforest Fawr. It looks like something from a fairytale - unfortunately, I was sitting on the wrong side of the bus, so I didn't see any of that.
Admittedly, I was being harsh and I knew really that the true showstoppers were still ahead of us. The famed 'route with a view' has earned its title largely from the stunning panoramic vistas it offers as it snakes its way through the middle of the Brecon Beacons National Park, with the views of Pen y Fan and the breathtaking surrounding landscape some of the most beautiful in all of Wales.
I’d have loved to tell you tales of the sweeping valleys, imposing hillsides and craggy outcrops that ran alongside our route. Of the sheep grazing in the lush green fields and the birds soaring overhead before swooping down into the River Ithon with a splash. Of how insignificant it all felt when I was confronted with the vast, unconquerable landscape that lay before my eyes. But I couldn't see a thing.
