CONWY WALK & RUN
Henryd Bad Weather Loop
Distance: 3.26 miles
Ascent: 93 metres
Surface: Road
This is a great option for bad weather days. It's all on road along small lanes and has some shelter along the route (unlike Conwy Mountain and beyond!). Also great for road runners seeking an undulating route.
Directions:
-
Head down Sychnant Pass Road and turn right onto St Agnes Road just before the castle walls. Follow St Agnes Road.
-
As St Agnes begins to bend leftwards down towards Gyffin, branch off to the right onto Hendre Road.
-
Follow Hendre Road for approximately a mile until you get to a cross road next to a white house. Turn left at the cross road and follow to the T junction.
-
At the T junction turn left and follow this all the way back down to Gyffin.
-
Turn left onto St Agnes road and head up the road until you reach Sychnant Pass Road by the Castle Walls. Turn left and follow the road back to the YHA.

To make it a 5 mile loop, at step 3 (at the cross road) you can continue straight ahead then take the next left turn before the holiday park, and then the next left to follow the road back to Gyffin and St Agnes road.
