About

Old Colwyn and Llanddulas are neighbouring coastal settlements on the North Wales coast. The area is defined by the A55 expressway, which runs directly between the towns and the Irish Sea shoreline. Old Colwyn has a residential character with local shops and services, while Llanddulas is known for its large limestone quarry and active cement works, which have long been a major local employer. The coastline here consists of a narrow pebble beach and a seawall promenade.

A notable stretch of the North Wales Path follows the coast here, passing the prominent headland of Penmaen Head. The landscape is industrial towards Llanddulas, with the quarry's sheer cliffs visible from the road. Inland, the terrain rises steeply into the foothills of the Clwydian Range, marked by fields and woodland. The area is a practical junction between the larger resort of Colwyn Bay and the more rural stretches towards Abergele.
