[Closed] All day loop in South Wales? (other regions considered!)

Could anyone point me where to look for some long rides in South Wales or other areas approx. 5 hours drive from Exeter?

Ideally all-day loops. I may have a weekend for myself, so thinking about setting up a tent in a nice spot and "wasting" the whole weekend on riding.

Not looking for some technical killers (rigid HT), but any climbs are welcome. I can use a map, but I would like to know what area of the country is the best to choose for that 😆

I like the gap. Very scenic but not that tech. You can rack up some miles though. Black mountain killer loop is a bit more wild.

Was up there a few weeks ago (also from Exeter funnily enough), stopped at BPW on the way up and back to break up the trip, and did some great riding/walking in that area. Thread linked with all the top spots to include in a trip up there!

Black Mountains killer loop will be a good start:

Thanks for moving this post to the correct forum in the first place! 🙄

The Black Mountains Loop looks like it's got my name written on it! So that's a Saturday sorted.

And Sunday - the GAP loop! Bingo!

Thanks you very much, guys!!!
