SL Shop | South Wales Drive Day

SL Shop has partnered with Curatus Experiences for another enjoyable day of driving put together especially for SL owners who appreciate great roads, beautiful landscapes and excellent hospitality. This time we’re exploring South Wales, beginning at a renowned hotel where you are welcome to stay the night before if you wish.

We begin the day at The Elms Hotel & Spa, where guests will gather for a relaxed start with pastries and refreshments before a quick drivers briefing and then heading out in convoy around 9:30am. From here, the route unfolds across the Shropshire Hills, offering lovely flowing open sections before we enter the Brecon Beacons National Park, where the scenery becomes more dramatic and the driving more engaging.

The group will then pause for a private lunch at a renowned country house hotel steeped in history, offering a refined setting to reset before the afternoon drive. The final leg delivers one of the most rewarding sections of the route, flowing through the Beacons before finishing at Baffle Haus, arriving at approximately 16:30.
