Directions
Aberdovey's remoteness is what makes it so special and unspoilt, and although at first glance it appears some distance its actually less than 2 hour's drive from Birmingham! It is also one of the more scenic and enjoyable journeys. as most people will be travelling from the south or east i would suggest getting to the M54 and then heading out towards welshpool on the A458 and staying with this road till you get to the A470 and A489 to Machynlleth finally finishing with the A493 to Aberdovey!
