Fairy Falls Pub

Highlight • Pub

Great beer and nice food!

Tip by

6.70 km

This is a serene lake located in the Conwy Valley surrounded by forested hills and the rugged landscape of Snowdonia. There's a cafe and fishery further south along the lake which is a lovely place to stop and refuel.

Pont Banog Trail – Gwydir Mawr (Marin) Trail

Highlight • Trail

This & Coed y Brenin (CYB) are possibly the two oldest man made trails in the U.K. The ones where it all started. This trail used to be called & still is by many including myself the "Marin Trail". Over the past year or so, many really cool additions have been made to this trail to ensure it remains as one of the U.K's best riding trails which include clear signage. If you like proper old skool then this is the place for you. The Trail Pixies have managed to maintain the original feel & yet increase the fun factor in every area unlike CYB but I'm basically a dinosaur who has never got over CYB moving to the other side of the road with it's fancy visitor centre. Nothing will ever beat Daffyd Davies' (MTB Godfather) original cafe for that other worldly experience of the old trail centre. One thing to Mention about this train it has no facilities other than parking. There's no toilets, no parking charges not even an honesty box! Happy days, you can always grab a bite in Llanwryst just down the road & boost the local economy. So be prepared for an endless climb at the start, wicked single track, awesome views, plenty of technical stuff & quite a few fire road sections. Take plenty of hydration, a mobile phone, a bite to eat & spare tube & chain link at the very least let someone know where you are going as you are away from civilisation. My biggest tip, stay for a weekend & ride not only this trail but also it's two near neighbour's Penmachno (my favourite trail bar none) & CYB. Go on chase the Welsh Dragon, you know you want to 👹🤙🤘😎

Llyn Parc

Highlight • Forest

This stunning lake is surprisingly close to the bustling village of Betws-y-Coed, yet has a remarkably serene feel to it.

The long, narrow lake is surrounded by the thick Gwydyr Forest, with a walking path down the eastern shore.

A gravel fire road is perfect for cycling nearby, touching the shore at the southern end where you'll find the dam.

Tu Hwnt Ir Bont Tearoom

Highlight • Cafe

There are two ugly houses, this one in Llanwrst is far from ugly with its teddy bear looks. The other is outside Bewts-y-coed and without the exterior wall plants it shows of the ugly stone. Both houses are tea rooms with the same menu. a tasty treat at the end of a walk.
