North Wales: Tal y Fan from Penmaenmawr

Sunday 28 March 2010

Start Time:

10:00 AM

Description:

Please Note: The clocks go forward at midnight Saturday March 27th, so one hour less sleep!

A favourite location of mine, climbing from Penmaenmawr to Moelfre 435m, with superb views to Anglesey. Then the climb to Tal y Fan 610m overlooking the Conwy Valley and the Snowdonia Peaks. Descending via the ridge around Foel Lus, giving superb coastal views, to the Great Orme and Puffin Island.

Start Point:

SH718764 - the car park in Penmaenmawr. The A55 by passes Conwy under the river, then through the Penmaenmawr tunnel, shortly after, leave at the roundabout which is just after the Shell garage on the left. Follow into Penmaenmawr, the car park is sign posted on the left at the crossroads in the village, Nat West on the corner, turn left and first right into the car park (free). Toilets here too, if they are open.
