About Betws Y Coed - show infohide info

Betws-y-Coed is a town in the county borough of Conwy, or traditionally in Caernarfonshire, north Wales. Betws-y-Coed’s rivers include the River Conwy and River Llugwy, and it is the principal village of the Snowdonia National Park. Betws-y-Coed has magnificent settings; surrounded by woodland and the Snowdonia mountain range. Waterfalls, river pools, hill top lakes and ancient bridges are also part of the attraction. The rugged mountain village draws streams of artists, climbers and walkers alike. At its beginnings, Stone Age man is thought to have lived around Betws-y-Coed, and they created Neolithic Burial Chamber at Capel Garmon. When the Celts arrived from Central Europe about 600 BC, they introduced the use of bronze and later iron-working. New tools and agricultural methods were brought in creating the roots of a distinctive Welsh life and culture. They were followed by the Romans and the Anglo-Saxons, but the Betws-y-Coed area remained a Celtic Briton (the Welsh) stronghold. The town of Betws-y-Coed grew up around a monastery that was erected in the 6th century. It grew very slowly around the lead mining industry. By 1815 the Waterloo Bridge was constructed by Thomas Telford. This later led to the development of the A5 road through the town, bringing more growth to the Betws-y-Coed area. The town’s local economy grew around agriculture, with slate quarrying and the wool mills introduced in the 19th century. While the quarries are now shut, Betws-y-Coed is a haven for agricultural produce. Apart from the proximity to the Snowdonia Mountains, attractions to Betws-y-Coed include the Miner’s Bridge and a 14th century church. The River Conwy flowing through the town provides further attractions including the Fairy Glen, the Conwy Fish pass and waterfalls: Pont-y-Pair Falls and Conwy Falls.
