A gem of a walk through woods and open fields on well maintained paths, bridleways, tracks and short stretches of tarmac with spectacular views in all directions over Anglesey, the Conway Valley, the Carneddau, Snowdonia and the Clwydian Range, born and bred in area, right on my doorstep, but, only just discovered thanks to Lesley the Cerdded Conwy guide.
