Conwy

The Category Conwy is a subset of Caernarfonshire.

A world-famous garden home to National Collections and Champion Trees ... With intimate corners, sweeping lawns, grand terraces and verdant woodland, there are many gardens in one at Bodnant ... With year-round colour, the garden can be whatever you want it to be, whether that's a hive of activity or a haven of tranquility and relaxation, this is truly a special place for all ages.'

'Discover where to walk in Conwy through the range of leaflets and booklets we produce.'

'There’s a network of pushchair-friendly trails with viewpoints and hides to make the most of your visit and plenty of information to explain what you're watching. Perhaps you’ll meet one of our friendly volunteer wildlife guides who can help you discover just a little bit more?'

'Gwydir Forest Park surrounds Betws-y-coed, one of the prettiest villages in Snowdonia National Park. Our waymarked walking trails set off from the village and include an easy boardwalk stroll, steep climbs up forested hillsides with far-reaching views, and walks around beautiful lakes.'

'Trefriw nestles into the heavily wooded eastern edge of Snowdonia. Once a thriving port and resort, the world passed it by as the river Conwy silted up. It is now the ideal place to stay, for visitors to Snowdonia, who wish to avoid the crowds and commercialism of the better known resorts and enjoy the simple pleasures of the glorious countryside around us while still having an excellent base for exploring this fascinating corner of Britain.' Usually held Mid May.

'Are you interested in joining guided walks? Cerdded Conwy Walks are a group of Volunteer walk leaders who put together seasonal walk programmes supported by Conwy County Borough Council ... '

'In true Welsh fashion you'll have a song in your heart as you set foot into the Conwy Valley to enjoy the walks detailed here. Sublime mountain views, forest paths, lakeside trails, neolithic settlements, tumbling waterfalls. each carefully detailed walk contains its own wealth of delights. Whether you're in the mood for a gentle 'after lunch' stroll or a challenging stroll to the summit of a distant ridge, you'll find a walk to suit, all of them easily accessible from Betws-y-Coed and the Conwy Valley.' ALERT Unfortunately, the Website cited here seems no longer - and I have not been able to locate a reliable compilation of the dozen Walks I originally listed. So I have replaced the Link with one from Walking Britain.

'A long-distance walk of up to 102 miles, with a choice of routes, exploring both sides of the part wooded Conwy Valley, one the most beautiful areas of North Wales.' Printed Guide available from Kittiwake Publications

'This route covers an extensive footpath network in the rural south-east of the County Borough (around Pentrefoelas and Cerrigydrudion), and extends into Denbighshire. There is a route-specific waymark logo to aid walkers. The leaflet pack consists of a set of ten maps together with some information about the area (including accommodation and services) ... The network consists of a linear 40 mile route, together with six shorter circular routes which can each be walked individually.'

'The Town Trail has been established in recent years by the local authority which has placed large informative boards at fifteen locations in Llandudno town each with a distinctive circular map ... and detailed information on nearby places of interest and a recommended walking route between these 15 trail markers to encompass the whole town.'

'Marl Hall Woods is a delightful, ancient semi-natural woodland with stunning displays of rare and beautiful wildflowers in the spring and summer and dazzling colour in the autumn. The site’s prominent location provides great views across the Conwy Valley and a range of historical features make it a particularly interesting place for a woodland walk or picnic.'
