Betws-y-Coed

The bustling mountain village of Betws-y-Coed is a hive of activity nestled at the heart of the Conwy Valley, where four rivers converge. Surrounded by some of Walesโ€™ most spectacular countryside, Betws-y-Coedโ€™s beautiful woodland setting at the foot of the mountains has been inspiring slow travel for centuries. Enjoy dazzling wintery views of snow flecked pine forests, brisk country walks and decadent fireside hot chocolate at one of the town's cosy pubs.
