Connect Rhyl with Slow Ways

We’re creating a network of walking routes that connect all of Britain’s towns, cities and national parks

more walks and reviews are needed to fully connect Rhyl to the verified network. Can you give a hike and help?

Slow Ways linking Rhyl and Kinmel Bay, Prestatyn, Rhuddlan

Rhyl’s three Slow Ways are 50% checked

Help connect Rhyl

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 Rhyl’s Slow Ways.

Well surfaced throughout, this route is accessible to bikes, prams and most wheelchair users (there are adapted gates on the route, which may present an obstacle for some - see pictures)....

Whilst passable, this right of way was very muddy in places, and had multiple sharp branches positioned in just the right places to hit the unexpecting SlowWays reviewer in the face and snag clothing....

The route from Rhyl to Kinmel Bay is pretty obvious as it's simply a case of following promenade paths, linked by the lovely Pont y Ddraig footbridge....

This route looks excellent on paper, and probably was when the three previous reviewers walked it, but since then three separate flood barrier schemes have closed sections of the coast path/cycle track. The most serious is the closure of the entire section between the edge of Rhyl and the edge of Prestatyn. I have created RHYPRE 2 to reflect the current situation, but very much hope that this route will eventually be useable again....

Note that this means that I was unable to verify the route from the promenade to the clock tower - I suspect the straight line oversimplifies this....

Straight along the coast on a concrete path - watch out for cyclists and dogs :-)...

Nice seaside walk along the prom, nothing too taxing. Prestatyn and Rhyl stations both have disabled access. Cycle and pedestrian paths all along the promenade....

Flat, concrete promanade the whole way, lots of benches along the way with easy access to parking, coffee and toilets....
