Conwy Valley Villages

In a nutshell. Don’t rush through the valley – you’ll be missing out on lots to see.
Look upon the lovely Vale of Conwy as a lush, green interlude, sandwiched as it is between rocky Snowdonia and the open moors of Mynydd Hiraethog. Its farmlands, riverbanks and hillsides are dotted with hamlets and villages. From north to south, here are some of the highlights.

You get a real sense of the River Conwy opening up to meet the sea at Llansanffraid Glan Conwy, which enjoys superb views across the estuary, Conwy Castle and Snowdonia. Close by is Hendre Waelod burial chamber, dating back to around 3500BC, its massive capstone still intact.

Rowen’s reputation as one of the prettiest villages in Wales is well deserved. It’s small and perfectly formed – no more than a few cottages, pub, church and post office. Just perfect! From here head into the hills on the Roman Road walk, or visit the nearby Conwy Water Gardens, which have otters, a fishery, aquatic centre and reptile house.

Eglwysbach, another pretty village, is almost opposite Rowen on the other side of the valley. Look out for its annual August jamboree, billed as ‘the Finest Village Agricultural and Horticultural Show in North Wales’. Its next-door neighbour, Bodnant Garden, a horticultural superstar, is a ‘must-visit’ destination that has recently become even better known thanks to the opening of the Bodnant Welsh Food Centre.

Further down the valley at Dolgarrog, you’ll find Adventure Parc Snowdonia home to a world-first inland surf lagoon, which now has a new weather-proof adventure facility. Adrenaline Indoors features one of the UK’s longest artificial caving systems, indoor and outdoor climbing and racer walls, leaps of faith, stunt jumps, possibly the most extreme slides you’ll ever encounter, and the UK’s only kicker flight slide. Adventurers can even take a tandem zip line from the rooftop to fly over the surf lagoon.

Both Dolgarrog and the neighbouring village of Tal-y-Bont are good walking bases for the Carneddau mountain range and the lake of Llyn Eigiau.
