After refreshments it's off along the quay to leave via an exit in the town wall. We go alongside the estuary on an excellent walk way, almost a promenade. Continuing on to a road, a footbridge over the railway line and join the track at the foot of Conwy Mountain.
Like other paths on the walk it may be muddy here and there, uneven, sometimes stoney, narrow through the heather, or on wider grassy slopes.

The route climbs slowly on the side of the mountain up to about lunch time by when we will have turned back onto the North Wales Path. After a level section it descends, at times more steeply than our ascent. We finish past Cadnant Park houses and return to the town.

The walk is 5 miles, climbs to 700 feet and has a single stile.

All will be taken a pace to suit everyone. Given the weather, the views of the estuary and a wide expanse inland are spectacular.
