Walking on the Trefriw Trails path 2, the Riverside Trail, a 2.5 mile footpath alongside the River Conwy and River Crafnan between Trefriw and Llanrwst, in County Conwy, North Wales.
From Trefriw, the trail starts behind the public toilets in the village near to the main car park. You walk alongside the River Crafnan until it enters the River Conwy, and then walk alongside Cob flood defences on the River Conwy as it meanders through the valley and towards Llanrwst. Along the way you can clearly see a number of oxbow lakes formed when the meanders in the river were encircled completely. On the opposite bank, is the Llandudno to Blaenau Ffestiniog railway and the main north-south trunk route, the A470. Join Trail 1 at the River Conwy suspension bridge for the return to Trefriw.
The trail can also started from the suspension bridge over the River Conwy near to Llanrwst North railway station.
The River Conwy rises on the Migneint moor where a number of small streams flow into Llyn Conwy, then flows in a generally northern direction, being joined by the tributaries of the rivers Machno and Lledr before reaching Betws-y-Coed, where it is also joined by the River Llugwy. From Betws-y-coed the river continues to flow north through Llanrwst, Trefriw (where it is joined by the Afon Crafnant) and Dolgarrog (where it is joined by Afon Porth-llwyd and Afon Ddu) before reaching Conwy Bay at Conwy. During spring tides the river is tidal as far as Tan-lan, near Llanrwst.
