A487 near Golan The A487 is one of the most important roads in Wales. It covers the majority of the west coast from St Davids to Menai Bridge, and is a primary route for most of its length, including a section where it multiplexes with the A470, another important north-south road. Along the way, it runs through two national parks: Snowdonia and Pembrokeshire Coast. Despite its length and importance, it is predominantly single carriageway, although the road has been upgraded in numerous places. It is 174 miles long. <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=A487" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=A487">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>

The approach to Craig-y-garn The inconspicuous access point for Craig-y-garn is a farm gate with no waymarks, but this excellent approach path seems well walked. The heather, moorland grasses and grey summit rocks make a colourful rugged scene.
