Synopsis

A collection of nineteen circular walks exploring the varied scenery of this beautiful river valley - from the Great Orme to Betws-y-Coed.

The Conwy Valley defends Snowdonia's northeast border and marks the point at which the soft contours of east Wales meet the more rugged terrain of the west. Here the walker can experience a varied landscape of hills, lakes and woodlands, along with wide panoramas of Snowdonia's highest peaks. In addition, there are numerous remains from the valley's long and colourful history, such as Edward I's medieval town and castle at Conwy, the stone coffin of Llywelwyn Fawr at Llanwrst, and the fine prehistoric burial chamber at Capel Garmon.

Walking in the Conwy Valley contains 20 circular walks located in and around the Conwy Valley, which attempt to sample as much of the valleys' varied character as possible. Each chapter contains a comprehensive route description along with a clear map, historical notes and other points of interest.
