Best walk from Bangor
Caernarfonshire · Wales | Walks by train
MapSet out on a beautiful walk directly from Bangor Station.
Bangor Station to Llanfairfechan Station
the views are spectacular. A walk of two contrasting halves: a steep, sometimes stony climb up and over Bangor Mountain on lanes and footpaths through the town, then a long, generally well-maintained coastal section on the Wales Coast Path with stretches of pebbles and sand and sea-eroded path. 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.
Tough: steep ascents. 14km.
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.
Lunch: The Slate pub just off route near Llandegai is the last chance for refreshments before Llanfairfechan; no facilities along the coastal section.
