Description
Travelling eastwards by road from Dwygyfylchi one can reach the town of Conwy via two routes: either the inland route through the Sychnant Pass, or the coastal route hugging the northern end of Penmaen-bach. The next four pictures show the inland route.

Looking down on the old road through the Sychnant Pass.
The next two pictures were taken while rounding the northern end of Penmaen-bach.
Image 5:
Looking northwards out to sea from the eastern side of Penmaen-bach.
Since 1967, when these pictures were taken, the A55 dual carriageway trunk road has been tunnelled through Penmaen-bach, alongside the railway line.
Image 6:
Looking eastwards one can see Morfa Conwy (Conwy Marsh) dotted with caravans, the Conwy Estuary, and the town of Deganwy on the far side of the estuary.
Image 7:
Further to the north, viewed from sea-level, is the white carboniferous limestone mass of the Great Orme (679 ft), which marks the western end of Llandudno Bay.
