WE ARE GOING TO CRICCIETH NORTH WALES FROM WARWICKSHIRE TOWING AND HAVE BEEN THINKING OF GOING VIA A470 BUT HAVE BEEN TOLDABOUT VERY STEEP HILLS I AM FRIGHTENED OF HIEGHTS AND SHEER DROPS DOES ANYONE KNOW THAT ROAD FROMMALLWYD TO PORTHMADOG

If you are concerned about steep hills, why not consider the North Wales coast road?

From the Warwick area, head towards Shrewsbury, then up the A5 towards Chester, then along the A55 coast road - mainly dual carriageway - and gentle slopes. When you get close to Bangor, head towards Caernarfon and across the Lleyn Peninsula to Criccieth.

This will add about 30 miles to the journey compared to the A470 route (15 miles north then the same distance south at the end).
