Re The Donkey path. I think Joanne is wrong - I know the embankment you speak of, there used to be a miniature railway which ran along the bottom of the embankment from the Prom entrance of Erias Park along to the Pier. The Donkey Path went/goes from opposite the Marine Hotel in Old Colwyn down to the beach, it branched off towards Glan Y Don and the Civic Centre to the rear of the Police HQ. It was so called as a Donkey was raffled to raise money for the making the path.
Does anyone remember the `Donkey Path`? The fairy glen looks vaguely familiar but I was very young and can`t remember details. My aunt and family lived in one of the beautiful houses overlooking the beach in Old Colwyn. The houses were knocked down when the bypass was introduced to the town. My aunt emigrated to Australia after that. I just remember an exciting time going for walks along the donkey path to the beach. Thinking of it now I can almost smell the seaside.
