We walked part of this not cycled as I fancied a walk, but next time I think I will get the bikes out as its a nice route.  We only went from our house to Penmaenmawr (that was quite a distance!).  It was fun to walk along where we hav usually whizzed by in the car and go around the outside of the tunnel.  It was a very blustery day but not cold.  We didn’t rush and had a picnic along the way.  We left home at 11.30 and got to Penmaenmawr beach cafe about 3.30 – 4pm.

A bit nervous walking along the part from Conwy Marina off-ramp along to the tunnel as the path had no rail between us and the cars and was a bit narrow in places but once we reached the tunnel the path led across the rail line below and around the tunnel and from there it was set back from the road and had a fence between us and the cars.

Its amazing how much we miss driving in cars.  The beach along this part of the coast is all sand and we found a tunnel running under the railway that went down to the beach.

I love Penmaenmawr the prom is wide and there is a lovely beach cafe there – well worth a visit.

While waiting for our lift home we decided to walk in the direction of the town and found a small wooded park with swings and slides and a sort walk around a stream and mini waterfall.  As my legs were aching we decided to stay in the park.  We had a fun day despite being tired.

As I said its amazing what we miss by driving everywhere so its worth finding out about the footpaths and cyclepaths and setting off with a picnic.  Next time we are going to be dropped off at Penmaenmawr and walk on from there to Llanfairfechan and then towards Bangor.
