“Scenic Gateway to Wales' Wildest Peaks”
by Steve – June 2025

Betws-y-Coed is a peaceful base for exploring Snowdonia National Park, surrounded by waterfalls, forest walks, and dramatic mountains. The town itself has a few shops and cafés, but it's mostly about the natural setting - and it delivers.
