Betws-y-Coed
The vibrant mountain village resort at the gateway to Eryri (Snowdonia), Betws-y-Coed is open year-round.
Set where many rivers meet, the village is wrapped in woodland and scenic walks straight from your door.
The village offers cosy B&B and self-catering retreats alongside independent shops, cosy cafés, welcoming pubs and lively bars. Making it just as tempting for a relaxed weekend as for an action-packed escape.
Wander through the towering trees of the Gwydir Forest, cross the atmospheric Miners’ Bridge above the rushing River Llugwy, or follow riverside trails to the dramatic Swallow Falls.
Thrill-seekers can soar through the canopy at Zip World Fforest, tackle the Fforest Coaster or brave underground challenges at Go Below Underground Adventures.
Top Tip: Getting around is easy thanks to the Conwy Valley Fflecsi bus — a flexible, app-bookable service that runs through the village and connects surrounding communities, attractions and walking routes, making car-free exploring simple and sustainable.
