The Huw Tom upland walk
Huw Thomas Edwards was a Welsh politician and trade union leader who started from humble beginnings working in Graiglwyd quarry in Penmaenmawr. He was born in Rowen, in the Conwy valley, and walked the route between the two places each day.
The Huw Tom Upland Walk is an iconic linear walk through time, sprinkled with historical remnants and relics. The route also offers spectacular views of the Conwy Valley, the Great Orme and across the coast and Liverpool Bay.
You can download a pdf of the walk here.
We’ll be taking our minibus out to the Penmaenmawr Museum, then walking over the tops and down to the Ty Gwyn pub in Rowen for a panad or pint. We will then travel back in the minibus to Trefriw.
Duration: All day. Please bring a packed lunch.
Distance: 6 miles / 10 km
Grade: Moderate, with some steeper sections and some rougher ground.
Please be aware that this is a rural area and that all our walks take us out into the countryside where some parts of paths and tracks will be uneven and sometimes wet and slippery underfoot. This is an upland walk, so make sure you have warm, waterproof clothing with you and good footwear.
Departure time: 09:15 a.m. from Trefriw Village Hall (LL27 0JH, SH781631)
Minibus Out and back
Refreshments will be available in the Hall both before and after your walk. (See ‘our cafe’.) Please stay and socialise!
