Anglesey Coastal Path - Aberfraw to Rhosneiger.
Anglesey Coastal Path - Aberfraw to Rhosneiger.
Distance:12 miles; Climb:500+' at a guess.
Start:Park on Common land beside the old bridge just before Aberfraw. Grid ref:SH356689.
Leave Chester at 8-00 a.m.
This walk combines two walks from Carl Rogers' book Coastal Walks Around Anglesey Volme 1", but in order to do so, there is an overall 3 mile link-up. Coastal walks are always enjoyable, especially in the Summer. The walk will involve some retracing of our route, especially around the motorbike track. The internet suggests that there is a temporary diversion around it, hopefully it will be easy to follow.

This walk combiness two walks from Jen Darling's book "walks in West Cheshire and the Wirral", but we will have to adapt the route slightly in order to link them. The walk includes meres, flashes and part of the Trent and Mersey Canal. It will also give us another chance to see the Anderton Lift again, hopefully it will be operating on the day. The Little Leigh walk includes going over the Saltersford Tunnel along the "horse path". Don't forget to bring binoculars with you, we can't go to Marbury Country Park without at least looking over the mere.
