Paws for Fun

Conwy is a winter playground for dogs and their humans. Wrap up and explore woodland trails at Alwen Forest and cosy up with a warm panad (cup of tea) at Llyn Brenig Visitor Centre.  Fancy the coast instead? Let your dog run free on the open sands of Conwy Morfa. With the summer crowds gone, it’s peaceful, wild and perfect for off-lead adventures.

Many cafés and pubs roll out the welcome mat for dogs. Conwy Falls Café in Betws y Coed is a perfect pitstop for you and your furry friend! Surrounded by woodland trails like Conwy Falls Walk , this cosy, dog-friendly café serves up hearty homemade meals, fresh bakes, and a warm Welsh ‘Croeso’ (Welcome).  Whether it's muddy paws or muddy boots – all are welcomed.

Blooming Bodnant
