Llanrwst, Gwydir Forest and Grey Mare’s Tail

A walk on paths, tracks and lanes near Llanrwst. Starting from Trefriw we walk on a path along the river Conwy. Who knew that this was a spa town visited  by victorians cruising up the river? We visit Llanrwst church, seeing some ancient tombs, before crossing the 17th century "quarrelling bridge". (The grade 1 listed bridge, officially named Pont Fawr, gets its nickname from its narrow width and hump-backed shape which often lead to drivers getting stuck with no space to pass.) We then continue along the river before entering the Gwydir Forest. We plan to visit the decorated Gwydyr Uchaf Chapel and the Grey Mare's Tail waterfall before continuing through woodland with good views. We may make a detour to the ancient church at Llanrhychwyn before descending back down to Trefriw.
