Bettws-y-Coed

Bettws-y-Coed, a village in Carnarvonshire, North Wales, beautifully situated at the point where the Conway receives the Llugwy, 15 miles S. of Llandudno Junction by rail. The rich greenery of the vegetation, the waterfalls and streams, the luxuriantly wooded hills all round, with the background of the mighty Snowdon and her sister-peaks, combine to make Bettws-y-Coed almost unique in the variety of its natural beauty. At the 'Royal Oak' is a former signboard, painted by David Cox, who stayed here every year from 1844 to 1856. Pop. 744.
