Rhyl Harbour and Pont y Ddraig

The harbour is the nicest place in Rhyl, lovely for walks or to hire a bike and cycle. There is a bike hire shop next to the cafe if you haven't got a bike.
The new lifting bridge over Rhyl Harbour in North Wales, serves as an additional crossing for pedestrians and cyclists. Spanning the River Clwyd from Rhyl’s West Parade to a newly created public area on the Kinmel Bay side of the river, the elegantly opening lightweight bridge named “Pont y Ddraig” has already become an iconic landmark attracting visitors. Hundreds watched the two lightweight composite decks – or dragon wings – being lifted into place in early Summer.

Rhyl Harbour is a lovely spot to watch the boats and enjoy a coffee overlooking the sea. The NCN 5 runs over the impressive Pont y Ddraig here, crossing the mouth of the River Clwyd.

It’s gets really windy here, so f you don’t already know. And the bike path at the end of Rhyl isn’t finished, so you need to turn off after the bars on the front
