CONWY WALK & RUN
For those looking for a day's hiking or a long run, this section is for you. All these routes are over 9 miles and cover both mountains and coast. Remember for the longer outings, particularly those which go higher up, to plan accordingly. The going can be tough and take far longer than expected. Err on the side of caution in respect to food, clothing and navigation.
