A leisurely walk (riverside) in national park Snowdonia in Gwynedd, Wales, about 4.40km (2.73 mi) long with an estimated walking time of about 1:30h. It is suitable for families with children, but unsuitable for prams & pushchairs, wheelchairs.

A lovely walk. If you want to visit the Glen you can for a nominal charge of 50p adults (free for kids under 5) to cover cost of maintaining the paths. If not, just go straight ahead into woods that take you right up to Conway Falls. Photos at flickr, search under popular tags 'carfreewalks'.Â

I have today 18 / 11 / 19 RE-VISITED Betws-y-Coed to check on my 7 Year Old walk above, I can sympathise with Florence, forgotten last half mile had no pavements, NOW I COMMENT Suitable ONLY FOR MATURE, SOLE, EXPERIENCED WALKERS, as in the last 7 Years the volume of traffic has increased both in volume, size and weight, as even I found it a little INTIMIDATING !!!!!,
as usual the Owners of the Gle

Have seen the above, yesterday, 08 / 11 / 19, one of my older walks from July 2012 with 21,959 views over the years, can't remember an adverse comment, so, decided to get to Betws today 09 / 11 / 19 to see what might have changed, unfortunately Llandudno Junction Railway Hub which serves the Llandudno to Blaenau Ffestiniog Conway Valley Line was suffering a MAJOR SIGNAL & POINTS FAILURE. re.above.

We tried to follow this route with six children and a dog, but there is at least a half mile down a road with no pavement or even a verge, and a 60mph speed limit. So we spent £5 to park two cars at the Waterloo Hotel car park for nothing, and had to go back.
