The Conwy County section of the National Cycle Route 5 takes you along the North Wales coast. You will cycle through the following towns:

• Rhyl
• Kinmel Bay
• Abergele
• Colwyn Bay
• Rhos-on-Sea
• Llandudno
• Conwy
• Penmaenmawr
• Llanfairfechan.

Most of the route takes you off road, with a short on-road section at Conwy, before returning to the off road seafront route. The route then takes you on-road and west along the coast through the seaside towns of Penmaenmawr and Llanfairfechan.
