Walk Inspiration - Walk 36, AA Walks through Britain's History
Geocaches - 3
Pubs - 4 Good Beer Guide 2019 Entries - Liverpool Arms, Albion, Bank of Conwy, Erskine Arms
A lot to love on this walk - not least the fact that it heads past the front door of four Good Beer Guide 2019 Pubs. In addition to quality beer, we can throw in a postcard perfect castle, a lovely stretch along an estuary, an optimistically labelled mountain and some wild moor land.
This ramble has it all - and the only thing we regret is parking in the 4 hour maximum stay Short Stay Car Park beneath the castle walls. There's so much more we could have done.
The first 20 minutes of the 4 hours are spent taking photos. Conwy is that sort of place.
All Walks should start at a Castle |
Too Early for the GBG Liverpool Arms |

We've gained a delightful walkaway along the estuary, passing what is marked on the OS map as a "Butterfly Jungle" before cutting inland on the Wales Coast Path.

Mrs M, not sure if she signed up for Mountain Walks |
Gorgeous paths, views and colours |
The rest of the walk is gorgeous but with similar views to those presented. Wild moorland, views either to mountains or over Anglesey. Many photos but they are mostly the same.
Rest of the Walk is either this, or the sea |
Of course, the bovines bellow to greet her bravery.
Into the town and entering through the town walls is suitably epic.
How to end a walk |
Onto Refreshment.
With three remaining pubs and only an hour left on the Parking ticket - its going to have to be whittled down to 2.
As a Baggies fan, the Albion Ale House, was always likely to be a winner. From the outside, its doesn't look much - a slightly down at heel old mans pub that Mrs M needs all of North Wales Camra's recommendation to enter.
We're the Albion |

Successful first stop and we have 30 minutes for lunch.
The Bank of Conwy looked like it was doing a roaring trade but we bypassed for the more traditional Erskine Arms.

My sort of space |
Timothy Taylor Bolt Maker and a top quality fish finger sandwich rounded off a superb walk.
And we were back to the car two minutes before trouble.
