Best walks to or from Llandudno

Llandudno Junction Station to Llandudno Station

Peace, beauty, nature and fabulous views west towards Anglesey; Great views over north Wales and Eryri/Snowdonia. A coastal walk with fabulous views west towards Anglesey and Eryri/Snowdonia, following the Welsh Coast Path around the Conwy estuary and along the promenade and beach. Mostly good surfaced and stile-free paths, but one short section through dunes below the golf course is deep and shifting sand that impedes progress. Follows the Welsh Coast Path along the east edge of the estuary.

Easy: 6km, gentle ascents.

A short dune section below the golf course is deep, shifting sand, slow going. Two large (but not threatening) loose dogs were seen here.

Llandudno Station to Colwyn Bay Station

A fairly direct route over fields, farm tracks and through woods, with some little-used and hard-to-follow paths, narrow sections with steps and tree roots, a final stretch along the beach promenade. Despite the coast and much of it feels inland.

Tough: steep ascents. 9km.

One slightly awkward crossing of a busy road (detour uphill to a pelican crossing if needed). A steep descent on a narrow path with steps and head-high thorns.

Lunch stop: the Queens Head.
