This walk although not particularly high will provide a mixture of terrain; woodland, moors
and mountain. Hopefully it will be clear enough to savour the views of The Orme,
Anglesey, Conwy Valley not to mention Llandudno, Colony Bay and Penmaenmawr. 




Leaving Conwy through the walls we will take Mountain Road to a track through woods,
where we may glimpse rock climbers above us on Conwy Mountain. We drop down over a
ford and across the Sychnant Pass road through a fascinating hamlet on our way to
Craigyfedwen. As we climb steadily we should get some wonderful views and glimpses of
various remains (old summer houses and stone circles) as we walk parallel to Conwy
Valley. 



Turning in the direction of Penmaenmawr we will encounter some boggy streches
before we climb up to Foel Lus. We follow the millennium walk part way round before
descending to Capelulo. 


Skirting Alltwen we will climb Conwy Mountain and have great
views of the coast, after the Castle we will see our destination and hopefully having kept a
steady pace complete the walk before the darkness creeps up on us!
