Conwy Mountain Ridge Walk

The classic short Conwy Mountain walk. Heading up the Conwy mountain ridge and descending via the traverse. It's a stunning little loop. 

Directions:

1. Head downhill from the YHA. Immediately turn left onto Cadnant Park Road. Take the next left turn and head up Mountain Road.

2. A little way up after the white house on a terrace turn right up the narrow footpath between the bushes and head over the style. 

3. Follow this footpath up and round to the left and up onto the ridgeline. Continue along the ridgeline towards the summit. Near the top you'll have a choice of clambering up the boulders to the summit or following a path to the right. My preference is to clamber up the rocks.

4. Follow the rocks along the top to the summit which once was an old mountain fort.

5. Continue across the summit plateua.

6. Shortly after the summit plateau there is a path to the left, take this path, this drops you down to the traverse route.

7. Turn left onto the traverse route and follow the path back down eventually to Mountain Road and continue down to Cadnant park Road.

8. Turn right at Cadnant Park Road and follow it up hill to Sychnant Pass and up to the YHA.
