Lady Mary's walk

About Lady Mary's walk

This refreshing, short trail takes us through establised mixed woodland. After a short uphill pull, a seat looks out over the market yown of Llanrwst, and on down the widening Conway Valley towards the sea. The steep slopes of Grinllwm and Cefn Cyfarfod from a dramatic backdrop to the pretty village of Trefriw. Then the trail climbs sharply, becoming briefly very steep towards the crest of the hill, but after this, the walking is very easy. Just beyond the hairpin bend, another seat offers a pleaseant view of the floodplain. Soon Gwydyr Chapel comes into sight. It is well worth a visit, and the key is available from Gwydyr Uchaf. Access: There are no stiles on this trail.

How to get there:

Lady Mary's walk can be started from Gwydyr Uchaf in Gwydyr. Llanrwst is the nearest town or village.

Directions:

Signposted off the B5106 just outside Llanrwst heading for Betws y Coed.
