Three days from Chepstow to the edge of North Wales — mountain roads, Elan Valley, Snowdonia and two carefully chosen hotel stops.
3 DAYS · 2 NIGHTS · SOUTH TO NORTH WALES · MAXIMUM 20 CARS
The Welsh Route is a three-day Wales driving tour on 10–12 June 2027, from Chepstow through the Elan Valley and Snowdonia to Oswestry, with two hotel nights and Route GT hosting.
This departure is currently operating a reserve list. Join it to be contacted if a space becomes available or an additional allocation is released. A place is confirmed only after Route GT contacts you and the required deposit is paid.
A properly paced route from the south of Wales to the north, with a new road environment each day.
Brecon, Mid Wales, Elan Valley and Snowdonia combine passes, valleys and open A-roads.
Beginning near Chepstow and finishing near Oswestry gives the tour the feeling of a real journey.
The Metropole and Ixora Hotel & Spa bring character, comfort and useful locations to the route.
The final morning gives couples the option to choose a scenic drive or more time at the spa.
Navigation, radios, participant materials and the on-tour team keep the experience structured and easy.
Choose the setup that fits your Welsh Route — one car with two guests, a solo driver, or two cars sharing a room. Every option includes the same Route GT roads, hospitality and on-tour support.
Every detail is arranged so you can focus on the road, the company and the journey. The Welsh Route package brings the core driving, hotel and event elements together in one clear price.
Two nights in handpicked four-star hotels with reserved parking.
Three-course private group dining on both evenings.
Breakfast before each full day after arrival.
Pre-programmed navigation loaded with the planned Welsh itinerary.
Group communication support throughout the driving programme.
Decals, tour plates, itinerary information and event essentials.
A hosted opening briefing near Chepstow before the route begins.
A relaxed final gathering near Oswestry at the end of the tour.
Route GT organisation and support across all three days.
Guests cover their own fuel, tolls and parking outside the included hotels, plus daytime food and drink unless specifically stated. Personal travel, vehicle insurance, breakdown cover, fines, repairs and attraction entry not listed in the package are also excluded.
Meet near Chepstow, complete the drivers’ briefing and head north through the Brecon landscape. Flowing roads and reservoir country build toward the first night at the Metropole Hotel.
The main driving day links the quiet roads of Mid Wales with the bigger scenery of the north. Mountain stretches, carefully chosen pauses and a changing landscape lead to Ixora Hotel & Spa.
Choose the final scenic drive or a slower spa morning, then regroup for the closing leg east. The tour finishes near Oswestry with a relaxed event and time to bring the three-day journey to a proper close.
The Welsh Route is tested to go well beyond one famous triangle. Brecon, Elan Valley, Mid Wales and Snowdonia are linked by mountain roads, flowing A-roads and quieter sections that deserve equal attention. Four to five hours of driving each day leaves enough time for lunch, scenery and the shared parts of the tour.
The route pairs the Metropole Hotel — a characterful Welsh landmark with motorsport heritage — with the contemporary Ixora Hotel & Spa. Both are chosen for location, comfort, dining and parking, creating two different but complementary bases as the journey moves north.
Arrive more comfortably, add spa time or improve the hotel stay without complicating the core package. Extras are confirmed separately and remain subject to availability.
Stay at St. Pierre Country Club the evening before and wake up at the venue for the morning drivers’ induction.
Choose an extended spa morning at Ixora while the driver completes the optional final scenic loop.
Add a treatment to the final morning. Treatments require advance booking and are separate from general spa access.
Where available, choose a higher room category at either tour hotel for additional space or comfort.
Route GT is built for people who enjoy driving. The badge is not the point: sports cars, supercars, grand tourers and less obvious enthusiast choices can all belong on the same road when the reason for being there is shared.
Add your details to the Welsh Route reserve list and we will contact you if a space or further allocation becomes available.
Use the form for questions about the Welsh Route — your car, room setup, passengers, the night before, spa choices or the current reserve-list position.
IMPORTANT: Route GT tours are social driving experiences on public roads. They are not races, speed events or navigational competitions. Guests remain responsible for their vehicle, roadworthiness, licence, insurance and compliance with road traffic law. Please read the full terms before booking.
