Work on a new book of short circular walks from the North Wales Coast section of the Wales Coast Path has begun. And what a lovely coast it’s turning out to be.<\/p>\n
The North Wales Coast stretches for around 90 miles from the outskirts of Chester to Bangor, on the Menai Strait. Along the way there’s a huge variety of landscapes and coastal walks taking in several castles, stone circles, a prehistoric copper mine, a ruined abbey, a lost lighthouse, feral goats, Victorian piers and trams, one of Wales’ largest and most spectacular waterfalls, and plenty of superb wildlife habitats teeming with wildflowers, birds and butterflies.<\/p>\n
Walks completed to date include circuits at Holywell, Talacre, Prestatyn and Offa’s Dyke, and a loop upriver to Rhuddlan Castle. Others in the pipeline include routes on the Little and Great Orme, around Conwy Mountain, Penmaenmawr, and Lavan Sands.<\/p>\n
All in all, this promises to be a lovely book filled with some genuinely inspiring walks.<\/p>\n
We can’t wait to see it in print \u2014 early next year.<\/p>\n<\/div>
