The short spin along the prom was followed by a climb around Little Orme's head before dropping back to the sea front for a pleasant and flat journey next to the shoreline.
We paused at the church of St Trillo, which is said to be the smallest in Britain and has the accolade of always having a full congregation, six small chairs line the small chapel and we had a nice chat with Peter and Margery who tend to the grounds every Friday.
The route around Colwyn Bay through Rhyl to Prestayn was good, there must be enough caravans in this bay to house all of Wales!
We stopped at the Bike Hub tea shop and took the oportunity to buy a chain as mine was dragging on the chain-stay! The new bike hire, tea shop and bridge over the Clwyd were all just a year old and were breathing new life into a rather run down frontage.

We arrived for our last night in Wales at Plas Ifan B&B which is very much geared for the walker as well as cyclist. Prestatyn is the start or finish of the 177 mile Offa's Dyke path which would be quite a short cut to our three week journey from Chepstow!
