There-and-back walks
No two stations share a walkable stretch of the Afon Conwy, so these walks head out along the riverside path and come back to the same station. The distance is the longest the riverside path allows, up to 20 miles; turn round sooner for a shorter walk.
| Station | Out along the riverside path | Distance | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Llanrwst | 3.8 mi and back | 8 mi | about 2.5 hours |
| North Llanrwst | 3.0 mi and back | 6.5 mi | about 2 hours |
Times use Naismith's rule and don't include stops.
