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!

After leaving car park, we walk along the sea front for a visit to the toilets, then continuing along the sea front to the climb up Conwy mountain, with many stops to admire the beautiful views of the Conwy valley, and a look back to the magnificent views of Conwy castle and the estuary. Continuing the length of Conwy mountain, and down the other end, again with super views out to sea. the rest of the walk has great countryside, kissing gates, and a number of styles, finishing with a tree lined finish back into Conwy.

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.

Deganwy marina and the Conwy River

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.
