Overview

Part 5 of our Wales Coastal Walk Series. We’ll start by taking the train from Llanfairfechan (where our campsite is) to Conwy where we will start the walk. 

There are two official routes for this section: an inland route and a coastal route. The current plan is to follow the official inland route, offering a scenic alternative to the official coastal route, but this is flexible.

The walk starts in the historic walled town of Conwy, home to its impressive medieval castle, picturesque harbour, and Britain’s smallest house. We'll heads through quiet country lanes, wooded valleys, and open farmland, with views of the surrounding hills and views out to sea. Along the way, we’ll pass through the beautiful Sychnant Pass, with its rugged scenery and heather-clad slopes, and may spot Carneddau ponies grazing on the hillsides.
