Slow Ways linking Abergele and Colwyn Bay, Kinmel Bay, Llanfair Talhaiarn, Rhuddlan, St Asaph

Abergele’s five Slow Ways are 35% checked
Help connect Abergele
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Abergele’s Slow Ways.

Latest Updates
A large portion of Abekin Three follows the Wales Coastal Path, North Wales Path and National Cycle Route No.5, and cycling is actively encouraged throughout. If using public transport, regular busses link the start and end points, or if like me and using trains, it is possible to walk from Rhyl to Abergele, crossing off two SlowWays in the process....

I only walked about half of this route, from Llanddulas to Old Colwyn, but I have walked all the way from Abergele to Colwyn Bay a couple of times previously....
Paddy Dillon
In my view the detour across the railway either side of Abergele & Pensarn is both pointless and involves unnecessary and unavoidable flights of steps to cross the line east of the station, and the route into Kinmel Bay is not as simple as the one in ABEKIN 3....
Hugh Hudson
The route into Kinmel Bay leaves the coast path at a refreshment hut and passes a large Asda car park....

Hugh Hudson added Abekin three, a new walk from Abergele to Kinmel Bay
Walk this routeAlmost a very good route, let down a little by the plotting of the route out of Colwyn Bay (you can't take that straight line across the A55) and unnecessary detours at each end. I walked 90% of it but used the shorter COLABE 2 routes out of Colwyn Bay and into Abergele. I will add a more detailed review with pictures there....
Hugh Hudson
An easy direct route, entirely on the surfaced coast path/cycle track apart from a little pavement walking at either end. In Pensarn the track follows the side of the road through a holiday park, and a shortcut path takes us up to the bridges over the railway and the A55....
