Walk Leader(s) Plan/Recce report

A Mike Donovan A Walk - Llanfairfechan and Aber Falls circular, 12.5 miles, 2100 ft ascent.

Starting from the centre of Llanfairfechan, we walk up Village Rd (1 unisex toilet on left), Mill Rd (2 pubs) and Nantyfelin Rd before taking a path up to Terrace Walk. Here we pick up the North Wales Pilgrim Way, clearly waymarked with a sign containing the green Celtic cross. After passing through metal kissing gates, we continue climbing through bushes to open ground with views over the coast to Anglesey and Puffin Island. At the highest point of the walk, we turn right to follow a good track, then a quiet road down to the Aber Falls tourist car park (toilets). We follow the main path to the falls (lunch stop), then continue on a narrower higher path on the other side of the river which takes us back towards the coast. After the track turns left, we leave the Pilgrim Way and descend to the village of Abergwyngregyn (toilets and cafe). Here we have 2 options depending on the time. 1. We can continue on the full walk under the expressway and railway to pick up the North Wales Coastal Path (pleasant but nothing spectacular) back to Llanfairfechan sea front (toilets and cafes), then up Station Rd to our starting point. 2. Or we can take a short cut taking a road and cycle track which lead directly back to Aber Rd.

C Liz & Louise Walk description for the Sept C walk Join Louise and I for a wonderful walk up to Aber Falls. We start from Abergwyngregyn, walk through the woods on a really good path, up to Aber Falls then go along to Rhaeadr Falls and on to the North Wales Pilgrim's Way with fantastic views of Puffin Island and Anglesey. We turn right and walk steeply back into Abergwyngregyn. There are many points of interest on this walk including a lots of story boards and a museum half way up. On our reccie we saw wild Welsh horses. Some of the paths are rocky especially going back into Abergwyngregyn and as stated above are very steep therefore walking boots are highly recommended along with poles. We will of course take our time and will have plenty of stops. The route is 5 miles and 1200 ft. At the end of the walk the coach will take us into Llanfairfechan where we will have time for refreshments. Thanks Liz
