A466 road

The A466 is a major road in Wales, running along the Wye Valley. It primarily follows the course of the River Wye, connecting Monmouth with Chepstow. The road is known for its scenic views and picturesque villages along its route. It offers access to several tourist attractions, including Tintern Abbey. The A466 serves as an important transport link for local communities and visitors exploring the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It is a single-carriageway road for its entire length, and caution is advised when driving due to bends and potential congestion, particularly during peak tourist seasons. Maintaining its rural character is a key consideration in any road management or improvement schemes along the A466.
