Walk distance: 5.7 mls
Total Ascent/ Descent:
We start this walk by heading to the
bank of the Conwy river. Then we head south to the suspension bridge which we
cross. This bridge provided access for the people of Trefriw to the railway at
Llanwrst. It also provided access for railway passengers to the spas at
Trefriw. The old wooden bridge (built in the 1860’s) was replaced in 1940 at a
cost of £1,500. We continue along the bank and cross the river at Pont Fawr
(Big Bridge). This bridge was designed by Inigo Jones and built in 1636. The
walk continues along the riverside before turning right through a field to the
roadside. A short bit of road walking takes us back to the bridge where we stop
at the riverside to take our lunch. From here we make our way back via the
suspension bridge to Trefriw.
