Today’s Walks Today’s starting points: A: Llanfairfechan B+, B, C: Conwy Tal y Fan & Mynydd y Dref with Graham Hogg Grade A Distance 10.5 miles 16.9km Climbing 2789ft / 600m . From the centre of Llanfairfechan we proceed up the valley towards Bwlch y Ddeufaen, striking left up to the summit of Foel Llwyd (1978ft / 603m), just before reaching the top of the pass. After a short descent we climb again to reach the summit of Tal-y-Fan (2001ft / 610m), our highest point of the day. A gradual descent down the Cefn Maen Amor / Cefn Llechen ridge takes us towards Bwlch Sychnant and Echo Rock. An optional climb is available at this point to visit the hill fort on the summit of Alltwen (837ft / 255m). Either way, we continue along the crest of Mynydd y Dref (Conwy Mountain) with superb views out over the bay towards the Great Orme. This path brings us neatly out beside the Afon Conwy which we follow upstream for a short distance back into town. Conwy Mountains with Pete Stevens Grade B+ Distance 9½ miles / 15.3 km Climbing 1443ft / 440m It may look like we are all doing the same walk (Conway Mountains via the North Wales Coast Path), well in a way we are, but some are going further than others. The reason for this is that 1. We are limited to where we can walk and 2. This is one of the most spectacular seaside walk that you will ever encounter. We start our walk in Conway and follow the North Wales Coast Path around the Conway estuary, before turning inland to cross the railway. We now start our main ascent of the day up Conway Mountains, and following them to the Sychnant Pass. The views are magnificent with The Great Orme towing from the sea and in the distance (if we are lucky), the Lakeland Fells. We now cross the Sychnant path before heading (still on the North Wales Coast Path) to Cefn Llechen, from where we leave the path (NWCP) and start to head back passing a stone circle on our way to Hafodty. From here we follow paths to Mount Pleasant where we meet the Sychnant Pass road, which we follow back into Conway and the awaiting coaches. North Wales Path with Roy Smith Grade B Distance 8 miles / 12.9km Climbing1250ft / 381m Our walk today starts from Conwy and is a pleasant, enjoyable walk, partly along the North Wales Path. From Conwy Quay we follow the estuary that rounds Bodlondeb Wood and leads us over the railway to the way markers indicating the path that ascends Conwy Mountain. A fairly steep ascent leads us up the mountain to spectacular views over the estuary. Following the North Wales path for some way, we continue until we turn off and descend past Llyn-y-Wrach. We are now able to follow well-established field tracks until we reach Lodge. Then follows a combination of minor road, track and field walking that takes us down towards the Conwy estuary to arrive ultimately at Fachleidiog. From here we make our way northwards along a very quiet minor road. After a short time we are able to cut across fields and through woodland before finally emerging at Conwy Castle and the end of our walk. Conwy Mountain Circular with Derek Lowe Grade C Distance 7 miles / 11.25km Climbing 500ft / 152m Our walk today starts in Conwy where we make our way to Mynydd y Dref otherwise Conwy Mountain. From here we continue onwards around Alltwen. Now we follow field paths and tracks which eventually bring us back to Conwy.

These remarkable leaders were formidable warriors, shrewd politicians and generous patrons of literature and architecture. Their lives and times, spanning over 900 years, have shaped the country that we know today and left an enduring mark on the modern landscape. This guidebook will show you where to find striking castles, lost palaces and peaceful churches from the age of the princes. www.snowdoniaheritage.info/princes 4 THE PRINCES OF GWYNEDD TOUR © Sarah McCarthy © Sarah Castell y Bere The princes of Gwynedd, at a glance Here are some of our top recommendations: PRINCES OF GWYNEDD GUIDEBOOK 5 Why not start your journey at the ruins of Deganwy Castle? It is poised on the twin rocky hilltops overlooking the mouth of the River Conwy, where the powerful 6th-century ruler of Gwynedd, Maelgwn ‘the Tall’, once held court. For more information, see page 15 © Princes of Gwynedd of © Princes If it’s a photo opportunity you’re after, then Criccieth Castle, a much contested fortress located high on a headland above Tremadog Bay, is a must.

  • Best Walks in North Wales Free
    FREE BEST WALKS IN NORTH WALES PDF Richard Sale | 280 pages | 01 Dec 2006 | Frances Lincoln Publishers Ltd | 9780711224230 | English | London, United Kingdom THE 10 BEST North Wales Hiking Trails (with Photos) - Tripadvisor Coastal scenery is much more than steep cliffs and inaccessible coves, with areas such as saltmarshes boasting a wealth of bird life. There are also the sandy beaches from Point of Ayr onward, as well as the unique limestone headland of the Gogarth or Great Orme that has some of the steepest and most inaccessible coves on the Wales Coast. Further on, the Wales Coast Path passes into Snowdonia, where the walker has options to walk the mountains of the Carneddau as well as sections of coast. While it was strategically important and a considerable undertaking at the time, it now appears insignificant if you can see any traces at all. Rather Best Walks in North Wales paralelling the main road, you get a pleasant section of path that follows woodland paths and streams. From Point of Ayr, which incidentally is the northernmost point on the Welsh mainland, the coastal scenery changes from saltmarsh to long sandy beaches and sand dunes. This walk takes you through the Gronant Dunes and Talacre Warren Nature Reserve and is a renowned spot for bird waching. Instead, you can divert yourself towards Dyserth Falls — which are much easier to see! This stood the test of time, with the castle well worth setting time aside to visit. This circular walk can be started from Llanddulas or Colwyn Bay and like the previous walk, creates a circular walk by following another tral, the North Wales Path.
