Summary
The North Wales Path long-distance walk runs close to the North Wales coast between Bangor in the west and Prestatyn in the east. The path traverses parts of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It was devised, implemented, and maintained by the former Countryside Council for Wales and is now maintained by Natural Resources Wales alongside three local authorities: Gwynedd, Conwy, and Denbighshire.
Starting from Bangor, places visited on the path to its finish in Prestatyn include Aber Falls, Garreg Fawr, Moelfre, Conwy Mountain, Conwy, Llandudno, Great Orme, Colwyn Bay, Abergele, and Rhyl. At Prestatyn, the North Wales Path connects with Offa’s Dyke National Trail.
