The A5, or the ""London-Holyhead Trunk Road"", is a major road in North Wales, originating from London and multiplexing with the M54 near Telford, and then Shrewsbury, it enters Wales by crossing the River Ceiriog and reaches Chirk, before continuing through Snowdonia, passing Llangollen, Corwen, Betws-y-Coed and reaching the centre of Bangor. The road then crosses the Menai Suspension Bridge towards Anglesey, then running roughly parallel to the A55, ending near the Port of Holyhead. The route is now more scenic, with its historical importance as a connection between London and the Port of Holyhead, superseded by the A55.
