Betws-y-Coed

This bustling Snowdonia village is at the heart of the Conwy Valley where four rivers converge. Surrounded by some of Wales’ most spectacular countryside, Betws-y-Coed’s beautiful setting at the foot of the mountains has been inspiring slow travel for centuries. It's a superb spot for stargazing, well away from the glare of city lights.

Recommendations

  • Hike up Moel Siabod from Capel Curig (reached on the bus from Betws-y-Coed). You'll need a detailed map and compass – and be happy to do some scrambling along difficult terrain – to reach the summit of this rocky mountain, which has stunning views towards Snowdon. 

  • Jump into the cool water at the famous Swallow Falls on the Afon Llugwy, which Lord Ancaster gifted to the council in 1913. It's not exactly unknown (there's an admission fee and turnstile entry) but it's impressive after rain and relatively quiet in the early morning. 

  • Head underground on a caving expedition - climb rock faces, cross zip lines and abseil from ledges for a subterranean experience like no other!
