When I drive to Wales from Southend (an east to west drive) I choose 'A' roads (A40 A41). The reasons being they go through some beautiful parts of the country which you would not see on a Motorway. Also because I have to think about driving (many junctions, traffic lights, villages, towns etc to negotiate), which keeps me alert, unlike Motorway driving where it is easy to become mesmerised and lose concentration..
