Flood defence

In a number of places the Conwy Valley railway line has become a de-facto flood defence, which would be fine if it was designed to be so. In recent years, repeated flooding has overwhelmed the low railway embankment leading to washed-out formation. The solution has been to armour the sides of the bank where it is vulnerable, then if it is over-topped the rocks will prevent the washing-away of the ballast and railway formation. Here there is also an accommodation bridge which doubles as a flood-relief drain.

Meadow by the railway

A little-used footpath follows the eastern bank of the river before it simply dies out. Where the space permits there are secluded meadows between railway and river.

Is it or is it not? Yes it is - shame the rest has been washed away in previous flooding in the area. For a later view and with a southerly aspect see SH8060 : Stile on the pathway of River Conwy at Llanrwst
