Pilgrim’s Way
Ancient Paths and Holy wells Tickets: £12
This walk explores a fascinating local section of the North Wales Pilgrim’s Way, following ancient paths and quiet lanes through farmland that has been walked for centuries. Starting at Tal-y-Cafn, the route heads gently towards Rowen, with a pause at the 19th-century Seion Chapel. From there the walk becomes more challenging, climbing the steep ‘Coffin Path’ to the remote church of St Celynnin and its sixth-century holy well, rewarding you with fine views across the Conwy Valley.
A walk rich in history, landscape and atmosphere, led by Trefriw resident Rev Eryl Parry, who featured in the BBC’s 2024 Pilgrimage programme at Llangelynnin.
Duration: All day. Please bring a packed lunch.
