About

A circular walk leading from the top of the Sychnant Pass with spectacular views of the Conwy Valley, Carneddau mountain range, the Great Orme headland and the coast.

The surrounding landscape is rich in archaeological features - from stone circles to medieval hafotai (summer houses) - which can be explored along the route.

Approximate length of walk 4.5 miles (7.2km) on rough stone and grassy tracks, hill walking with some moderate to steep climbs.

Start the walk from the Pensychnant Nature Conservation Centre car park. Refreshments available in Dwygyfylchi, Penmaenmawr and Conwy.
