A55, North Wales Expressway near Ewloe

The A55, also known as the North Wales Expressway (Gwibffordd Gogledd Cymru), is the major road in North Wales running for 88 miles between Chester and Holyhead via Conwy and Bangor. The A55 is a very high quality road, much of it rebuilt since the 1970s in response to traffic problems in Colwyn Bay, Colwyn and Llandudno caused by traffic having to pass through town centres on totally unsuitable streets, (especially in Conwy where lorries often scraped their paintwork as they passed through 12th century arches in the town's walls), leading to the construction of an east-west expressway bypassing the urban centres. It is a dual carriageway primary route for its entire length with the exception of the point where it crosses the Britannia Bridge over the Menai Strait. All of its junctions are grade separated except for two roundabouts; one east of Penmaenmawr and one in Llanfairfechan. The road originally ran from Chester to Bangor but was extended parallel to the A5 across Anglesey right into Holyhead Docks in 2001. Link

Bridge abutment in Mount Pleasant Road, Burntwood Pentre

The brick abutment is the only sign that there was ever a railway bridge crossing the road here. In times past this area was a hive of activity with brick and tile works as well as coal mines to power the furnaces, all long gone. There is an Ordnance Survey benchmark low down on the corner of the abutment, but it is partly hidden by ivy SJ2864 : Benchmark in Mount Pleasant Road, Burntwood Pentre

Wepre Park Visitor Centre

The old stone gatepost hints that this was the approach to a grander building than a modern visitor centre. In fact there was a hall on this site built in Georgian times that had to be demolished in the 1960s for safety reasons. The original cellars still exist beneath the visitor centre.

The modern visitor centre stands on the site of the old Wepre Hall demolished in the 1960s. The original cellars still exist beneath the building.

Wepre Park - formal garden

Although the house was demolished in the early 1960s, the formal garden at Wepre Park, originally laid out in the 18th and 19th centuries, has survived. The garden includes this circular lawn with a central fountain.

Wepre Brook

Wepre Brook (Nant Gwepra in Welsh) flows through Wepre Wood and this footbridge forms part of the network of paths that invite exploration. The bridge, called Pont Aber, was originally sited further up the valley but was relocated here in about 1800 to improve access to Wepre Hall.

Steps to Ewloe Castle

After crossing Wepre Brook the path to the castle heads up these steps.
