From Motorway Network (M56) to the A55
The M56 terminates at a roundabout which joins with the A5117. Follow the signposts for Queensferry & North Wales. The road numbers change over the next 5 - 6 miles through A550 & A494 until at the top of a hill outside Queensferry the A55 merges in on the left. Signposts towards Conwy should now be followed.

From Oswestry A5/A483 Roundabout to the A55
Close to Oswestry, the A5, leading from the M54 and the A483 from Newtown, meet at a roundabout and continue as the A5 to a further roundabout near Chirk. From here take the A483 Chirk by-pass and head Northwards towards Chester to a major roundabout junction before joining the A55, signposted for Conwy.

From joining the A55 to the Hospital
Remain on what has become the A55 for approximately 30-35 miles. The Hospital is signposted with official Red logos - denoting an A&E equipped hospital - from the Marble Church exit at Junction 25. A brown Tourist Board sign for Bodelwyddan Castle, to be seen on the left, forms an additional landmark whilst the spire of the Marble Church itself is prominent on the right.
