Betws-y-Coed, meaning "prayer house in the woods," instantly transports you to a world of tranquillity and wonder. Its distinct alpine feel, thanks to the dense Gwydir Forest, adds a layer of magic to this Welsh village. Explore its network of hiking and biking trails, each offering unique glimpses into the stunning Welsh countryside
One of the most iconic landmarks in Betws-y-Coed is Pont-y-Pair, an ancient packhorse bridge that exudes centuries of history. Feel a sense of timelessness as you admire its stone arches reflected in the River Llugwy. From here, a 45-minute walk or 15-minute drive will bring you to the spectacular Swallow Falls, where the water cascades down dramatic rock formations creating a scene of immense natural power. Don't forget to lose yourself in the enchanting Gwydir Forest, a haven of towering trees, mossy trails, and hidden waterfalls.
This enchanting destination will steal your heart with its quaint streets, historic bridges, rushing waterfalls, and endless outdoor adventures.
