Conwy is a peaceful village with much of its charm still intact. A
well known place for walkers and as a base for exploration of the
Snowdonia Natural Park and the surrounding Gwydyr Forest.
Obscure until Victorian times when it became a haven for artists and with
the opening of the railroad times started to change for Betws-y-Coed
and the whole valley. Villages like Llanrwst with its 17th century bridge
and the 15th century cottage where I had my first taste of Welsh Rarebit
was a dream come true for me.
History abounds in Wales and this is just a small portion of a vast area of
beauty and tranquillity.
