Llion from Anglesey
This is an easy walk, ideal for a sunny afternoon. There are a few moderate slopes, but nothing too strenuous. The path is not well signposted in places, so take a map.The scenery if not breathtaking is certainly varied and tranquil. (with the exception of the A55!)

E Cox from Bangor
This is an exceptionally magnificent and varied walk in this area. The ever changing views are stunning. The meandering between various paths gives great intrigue and adds interest to the walk. Only pitfall is that the walk is subject to the roaring sounds of the A55, however, this is only for a very minor part of the walk and soon forgotten.
