Coastal Walkway and Sea Barriers

Highlight • Structure

The concrete slabs look quite new, at a guess the flood barrier work here looks as though it has been recently undertaken. There are staithes on the beaches in many locations along the coast

Rhyl Beach Promenade

Highlight • Viewpoint

Rhyl Beach, at the seaside resort of Rhyl on the north-east coast of Wales, has sand stretching about six miles along the coast to Prestatyn. There is safe bathing off most of the length of Rhyl Beach and there is a lifeguard service to guide you to the best places.
It has an amazing cycle path with run all the way to Bangor and beyond.

Pont y Ddraig Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Pont Y Ddraig bridge is the crossing used to ride over Foryd Harbour. Good views are seen on a nice weathers day in this location, boats in the harbour, not many but good to see after miles of promenade riding

Rhyl Harbour and Pont y Ddraig

Highlight • Bridge

The harbour is the nicest place in Rhyl, lovely for walks or to hire a bike and cycle. There is a bike hire shop next to the cafe if you haven't got a bike.
The new lifting bridge over Rhyl Harbour in North Wales, serves as an additional crossing for pedestrians and cyclists. Spanning the River Clwyd from Rhyl’s West Parade to a newly created public area on the Kinmel Bay side of the river, the elegantly opening lightweight bridge named “Pont y Ddraig” has already become an iconic landmark attracting visitors. Hundreds watched the two lightweight composite decks – or dragon wings – being lifted into place in early Summer.

Access to and from the inner harbour is via the Pedestrian / Cycle Bridge, lifting of the bridge will be on demand, subject to wind strength and whenever the height of tide is such that the harbour and approaches are navigable.
