Walk Distance: Approximately 11 miles
Total Ascent/Descent: with 1800 ft. of climbing
A fine circular route, beginning and
ending under the awesome ramparts of Conwy Castle.
There’s nothing like an initial
short, sharp shock to wake sleepy walkers up in the morning, and that’s what
you can expect from this walk, as we leave the coach and begin our day with a
climb up through the woods, south of Conwy.
Field paths and a little road walking
lead us up to and around the Iolyn Park caravan site and on to the village of
Henryd.
Climbing up through the woods of Parc
Mawr on a steadily increasing gradient, we are rewarded with stunning views of
the Conwy valley and surrounding mountains, before joining the Pilgrim’s Way
and reaching our lunch stop at LLangelynnin Old Church.
A steady walk along high ground on
the North Wales Path leads us to Sychnant Pass and the now almost obligatory,
“Sting in the tail,”our final climb, up Conwy Mountain and down to well-earned
refreshment!
