The entrance to the reserve is on the south side.

The nearest train station is Llandudno Junction, half a mile from the reserve.
The quickest route to the reserve from here is to turn left from the station, take the first left down Conway Road and just before the road bridge (Ffordd 6G), take the footpath to the right, then turn left onto the bridge; cross the road to pavement and continue south past Tesco and Cineworld to the A55 roundabout. The reserve is on the south side of the roundabout and is signposted.
A more enjoyable, but slightly longer walk, takes just over a mile from the train station. Head left down Conway Road, go under the road bridge and continue until you reach the steps up to the flyover. Walk towards Conwy castle, taking the next steps down just before the bridge into Conwy town. Turn right at the bottom of the steps and go back on yourself under the bridge. This will take you over the railway bridge and on to the estuary path. Follow this until you reach the reserve and enter via the car park entrance.

Sustrans cycle route 5. We recommend using the coastal cycle path signposted from Conwy Cob.
From Llandudno Junction rail station, take the first left down Conway Road.
Go under the bridge and after 200 m, go under another bridge and immediately up steps.
Walk towards Conwy and at the start of the gardens, drop to your right and loop beneath Conwy Road through an underpass, over the footbridge and follow the estuary track south for half a mile to the reserve car park.
