The North Wales Way follows an old trading route for 75 miles (120km) along our northern coast into Anglesey.
It’s the trio of huge castles that immediately grab your attention: Beaumaris, Caernarfon and the walled town of Conwy. Together with Harlech, this cluster of immense 13th century fortresses forms a UNESCO World Heritage site.
There are plenty of loops and diversions too. From here you can explore the mountains of Snowdonia, the Menai Strait, and our largest island, Anglesey.
It’s the gateway to the stunning Conwy Valley with its wealth of attractions, and the Vale of Clwyd, where a string of handsome market towns line the route down to Llangollen.
The North Wales Way also links easily with its sister Ways, public transport, and long-distance cycling and walking routes.
Discovering the North Wales Way
Home to about 25 miles/40km of The North Wales Way, Conwy County’s landscape of rugged mountains, green river valleys and surf-kissed coastline is full of drama. With imposing castles ripped straight from the pages of a fairytale, timeless seaside resorts and glorious gardens to explore, you’ll have plenty of reasons to go off the beaten track.
To get you started on planning your epic journey we’ve created a series of themed itineraries under the headings of adventure, heritage, landscape, food and drink, walking and golf.
These itineraries focus on some of the best experiences that are available on and around the North Wales Way. Already home to a world-first Inland surf lagoon, Adventure Parc Snowodnia in the Conwy Valley, now has a new weather-proof adventure facility - Adrenaline Indoors a must for thrill seekers.
Closer to the coast you’ll find Bodnant Garden. Covering 80 acres/32ha of beautiful North Wales landscape, the bloom-filled terraces, wild dingles and towering trees offer an all year round experience.
You could spend the whole day exploring mediaeval Conwy. Mighty Conwy Castle is one of Europe’s most fabulous fortresses. And the new Conwy Culture Centre reveals more insights into the town and the County’s robust history.
