The legendary driving loop, three roads across the empty Denbigh moors.
The Evo Triangle laps the open Denbigh Moors on three roads: the A543 over Mynydd Hiraethog, the B4501 past Llyn Brenig, and the A5 back through Pentrefoelas. Long sightlines and flowing bends made it a magazine favourite, but it is unfenced common land and a public road, not a circuit. Watch for sheep, walkers and weather that turns in minutes.
