White dragon-tailed seashell on red background within yellow circlet.Wales Coast Path - Conwy to Llanfairfechan Upland Route

Conwy

18 km / 11 miles
An alternative route for part of the Wales Coast Path along the north coast. Useful if you want a break from the coast, want to avoid the lengthy path section that runs parallel to the A55 between Conwy and Llanfairfechan, or fancy a bit of upland walking. The route uses good moorland paths.

Although not part of the official upland route, there is a very slight off-route option to visit a pair of excellent stone circles at Cefn Coch.
