Often referred to as the "gateway to Snowdonia," Betws-y-CoedClick to open side panel for more information is a charming alpine-style village in North Wales that feels like it’s been plucked straight from a Victorian postcard. It’s a place where stone bridges cross bubbling rivers and the air always smells slightly of pine and rain. The Heart of the Village The town itself is centered around a large village green, perfect for a slow stroll or a picnic while watching the world go by. It’s lined with cozy independent shops, outdoor gear stores, and cafes that make it a favorite for both hikers and those looking for a quiet afternoon. Iconic Bridges and Waterfalls Betws-y-Coed is famous for its picturesque crossings and dramatic water features that are just a short walk from the center.

There is a few areas along the river bed to stop for a picnic or a short stop or you can go on and explore the trails further.

You should pay the fee to visit. Plenty of signs and information to get here but no mention of a fee. £1 per person, £1 per car, 50p per child.... at this point we stopped reading as we don't carry cash. Woman came from the house to make sure we didn't slip in. Fully understand that it's private land and you have to pay to enjoy it. Just wish we'd known before we set off.

Short but beautiful and more than worth a visit. Great place for food at entrance and a lovely gushing falls walk. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the falls. We visited in July and the flow was impressive and definitely one to tick off the list for any waterfall chasers

A good spot to get to the river. For cooling off on a hot summer day.
