Gateway to Wales

[Macka]

Live on the Wirral and regularly ride into (just) North Wales, generally then back via Chester somehow.
I am looking to delve deeper into North Wales (via Ruthin etc) but am at a slight loss of how to continue from Queensferry along back roads (don't want to go near the main dual carriageway).
Does anyone have any well used routes that I could try?
From Ruthin Im pretty sorted as to where to head next...
Cheers
Steve

I used to ride this regularly as my commute as a 16 year old not allowed a motorbike.

its off the major routes and can be a bit hilly towards ruthin , descents are amazing though.

I loved living in this bit of North Wales

The back roads will take some planning. It's either the coast road or the A55 which is a no go.

Coast road is boring as its not that near the coast.

That's great...thanks very much...
Did think about coast road as well but as you say it is a little boring...
Will be out there soon...
