The Conwy Valley Line follows closely the broad sweep of the estuary and at Glan Conwy at low tide the mud flats fill with all kinds of wading birds.
Shellduck, cormorant, lapwing and heron feed along the waterline largely ignoring the closely passing train.
Glan Conwy offers glorious views of the river and Conwy Castle and the World Heritage Town of Conwy.
Prior to the building of the bridge people crossed the estuary by boat from Glan Conwy to Conwy.
