02 Jul 2023Walked from Bangor to Llanfairfechan. A lovely walk, especially the coastal sections. Not suitable for everyone, as it does involve some steep sections and quite a lot of rough ground, but nothing is unsafe and the views are spectacular.
From Bangor, we go up past the cathedral then continue up High Street and steeply up Lon Pobty. We then take the rough gravel path over the hill (Bangor Mountain) and down past the golf course to a housing estate, then straight on across a stream and up through an industrial estate. Don't miss the right turn onto the path parallel to the railway. We cross the A5 with care and take the shortcut path straight on down the hill, then detour left past the school and Llandegai church. No facilities here, but the buildings are interesting and it is not much longer than staying on the coast path.
We cross the Ogwen river on a pavement then bear right through a hamlet - note the Slate pub just off route which is the last chance to buy any refreshments before Llanfairfechan. Beyond the railway we take the field path left, emerging by a church. We then follow the road down the hill, go right a short distance and follow another lane all the way to the sea, at a car park with benches and fine views.
From here on we follow the well signposted Wales Coast Path most of the way to Llanfairfechan. The path varies in quality - most of the time it is excellent but it does cross a shingle beach. Eventually we reach the outdoor bathing pool in Llanfairfechan, which we skirt on the right, then use the shortcut to reach Station Road, At the lights we turn left to reach the meeting point outside the Methodist church (barely more than a tin shack painted bright blue.
