Description of Walk

An historic walk taking in one of the neolithic tombs in the area, together with fine views across the Conwy, Lledr and Llugwy valleys. An initial climb, leads up onto Capel Garmon (The church of Carmon) and rolling fields and views across Snowdonia. The walk then leads onto a neolithic tomb circa 2500-1900bc, before descending gradually down to the original road before Thomas Telford built the A5. This leads along the Afon Conwy to the fairy Glen through old oak woodland, with the roar of the Conwy in the background and finally back into Betws-y-Coed.
