Follow the path to the right through the woods for around 400 meters and you'll reach a viewpoint, overlooking the Conwy Valley. Turn back on yourself for around 200 meters and turn left to walk down to Gwydir Uchaf Chapel (Ch). After visiting the chapel, walk back down to the road and turn left, passing Gwydir Castle, then turn right towards Llanrwst. Before arring at the bridge (A), turn to the left towards the Conwy River banks, to visit Tu Hwnt i'r Bont (D). This is where the walk ends.
