The views are spectacular.

Involves steep sections and quite a lot of rough ground. Second half follows the Wales Coast Path. Views to Anglesey, Puffin Island, the Great Orme and Penmaenmawr; hides indicate plentiful wildlife. No facilities on the coastal section.
Coastal: three fifths along the coast.
Time: 4h–8h
Lunch: The Slate pub just off route near Llandegai is the last chance for refreshments before Llanfairfechan; no facilities along the coastal section.
Warnings: Steep climbs and a fair amount of rough ground. Cross the A5 with care. Coastal path crosses a shingle beach and eroded sections; not advisable during very high spring tides with strong onshore winds.
