View of Malltraeth Cob and the estuary
Highlight • Structure
Malltraeth is the next village along from Newborough to the north. The two villages are linked by a “cob” – a dike wall – with a footpath/cycle track along its top.
The cob was completed in the early 19th Century, under the direction of Thomas Telford and John Rennie. At the same time, the Afon Cefni was straightened (and straitened) creating what looks like a canal, but is still tidal. This created nearly 1,600ha of grazing land on either side of the Cefni. Much of this land is now a nature reserve managed by the RSPB.
Also you will see Llyn Parc Mawr Community Woodland where they have picnic areas where you can enjoyed the red squirrels. It is off road but I used my gatorskins and it was fine.

The Cob Path and Cefni Estuary Views
Highlight • Viewpoint
It provides excellent views across the Cefni estuary and the distant mountains of Snowdonia and also leads to Newborough Forest where there are circular cycle trails leading directly to the beach (which can get very busy). If you are thinking of riding any of the trails in Newborough Forest I would recommend at least a hybrid bike as they can become rough in places.
