Overview

Part 4 of our Wales Coastal Walk Series - Colwyn Bay to Llandudno Junction. From Colwyn Bay, we'll continue on a paved cycleway through Rhos on Sea where we'll pass by the smallest church in the UK, St Trillo's Chapel. We'll then climb grassy paths up to the Little Orme for magnificent views along the coast before descending into Llandudno along the broad, sweeping promenade. After Llandudno Pier, we'll continue along Marine Drive along dramatic limestone faces that drop perilously into the sea. If we're lucky, we might catch a glimpse of some Kashmiri mountain goats whose herd was introduced to the Great Orme around 1900. We'll continue around the Orme to the quieter western side, and then on through Deganwy and Llandudno Junction where we'll be able to see Conwy Castle and the mountains of Snowdonia in the background. From here we'll take the train back to Shrewsbury.
