Overview

This seaside resort on the north coast of Wales, overlooking the Irish Sea, offers us the opportunity of walking up, or around, both Great Orme, and Little Orme. Whilst our coach may not park up all day in Colwyn Bay, but head for Llandudno giving us the possibility that linear walks could be on offer. We will have to see what our Walk Leaders come up with.
