Bus and Rail Walks - The Conwy Valley

by: Dorothy Hamilton
The Conwy Valley with its stunning scenery and varied landscape of hills, forest and lakes has the bonus of a railway line and bus network which enables ramblers to take walks between bus stops, railway stations and car parks. By making use of this public transport linear walks are possible and these offer a greater variety of scenery than circular routes, as well as giving the satisfaction of having completed a journey from A to B on foot.
The 20 walks in this guide range from 4 to 8 miles and the majority start, or finish, in the Conwy, Lledr or Machno Valleys.
