Betws-y-Coed

In a nutshell. Bustling mountain resort at the gateway to Snowdonia.

Who says that Wales is closed on Sundays? Go to Betws-y-Coed on any Sunday of the year (December included) and you’ll find a place well and truly open for business. It’s not just the busy shops, selling everything from outdoor gear to quality crafts, which attract visitors. Betws came into being in the first place thanks to the early Victorian travellers who relished its beautiful wooded setting at the convergence of four rushing rivers. And it’s this location, largely unchanged since those times, that’s the real magnet.

Betws itself, of course, has changed. It’s a full-on mountain resort with all kinds of attractions and activities. Take to the trees with friends and family at Zip World Fforest to tackle ropes, nets and swings strung through the canopy. There’s also the Fforest Coaster toboggan run and the new Plummet 2, a pulse-pounding 100ft/30m drop through a trapdoor that’s the closest things to freefall this side of an aeroplane.

For more woodland forays you can go walking, riding and mountain biking in the glades of the Gwydir Forest. Other outdoor activities include canyoning and scrambling – and if you want subterranean adrenaline thrills there are these too, at nearby Go Below Underground Adventure.

In former mines deep beneath Snowdonia, you’ll discover a world of deep blue lakes, zip wires, bridges, ladders and abseils. It’s an assault course like no other.
Betws is the perfect launch-pad for exploring Snowdonia. One of your first stops should be the Snowdonia National Park Information Centre, a fount of knowledge on things to see and do locally. There’s also a spectacular introductory film featuring high-altitude drone footage and a virtual summit that recreates the 360-degree views from Snowdon’s peak

It’s easy to ditch the car and hop on a Snowdon Sherpa bus for an eco-friendly tour.

You’re soon into dramatic countryside. Tumbling Swallow Falls, one of Wales’s most celebrated beauty spots, is close by. And don’t miss Tŷ Hyll, the strange ‘ugly house’ built of massive, mis-shapen boulders.

Rail enthusiasts love Conwy Valley Railway Museum, located right next to the main station. Climb aboard a miniature steam train for an eight-minute trip through landscaped grounds, visit a museum full of fascinating railway artefacts and browse the huge collection of model trains in the shop.
