Stunning views of the mountains and the coast are one of the delights of the 60 mile long North Wales Path.
The path follows the coast or lower mountain slopes between Bangor and Prestatyn and can, of course, be enjoyed in either direction. Distinctive markers will help you find your way...
 North Wales Path |
The route follows public footpaths and permissive paths with only short stretches of bridleway, and so is unsuitable for mountain bikes or horses. As the path crosses private land including farmland, please ensure that dogs are kept under control at all times. Although several sections are moderately steep, the walk is suitable for anyone of average fitness, including families.
There are many convenient access points from towns and villages near the route, so the walk can be broken up into a series of shorter walks. In the Prestatyn area, the path follows the route of the Prestatyn-Dyserth Way.
The North Wales Path was an initiative of the Community Councils and is now maintained by the Countryside Services of the Unitary Authorities: Gwynedd, Conwy and Denbighshire and the Snowdonia National Park Authority, with the support of the Countryside Council for Wales.
A brochure (ISBN 1-84047-000-3) is available, containing a set of 8 maps (scale 1:25,000) showing the route of the path, junctions with other paths, some places of interest, facilities such as toilets and car parks, and telephone numbers for further information. It can be purchased from bookshops and Tourist Information Centres. Alternatively, it can be obtained from Conwy County Borough Council Countryside Service on (01492) 575200.
