Riverside Trail

Circular walk along flat ground

2.5 miles / 60 minutes

This trail can be started either from Trefriw, or from the suspension bridge over the River Conwy near to Llanrwst North railway station. 

From Trefriw, the trail starts behind the public toilets in the village near to the main car park. Walking along the flood defences or 'Cob' you then follow the River Crafnant as it meanders through the valley. Along the way you can clearly see a number of oxbow lakes formed when the meanders in the river were encircled completely. On the opposite bank, is the Llandudno to Blaneau Ffestiniog railway and the main north-south trunk route, the A470. Join Trail 1 at the suspension bridge for the return to Trefriw.

This trail has been recently improved and has gates rather than stiles.

Please keep dogs under control as there is often livestock in many of the fields that you will cross.
