About

Llanrwst is a market town situated along the River Conwy, known for its historic three-arched bridge designed by Inigo Jones. The town's Gwydir Castle and the 17th-century almshouses reflect its long-standing importance in the Conwy Valley. Local agriculture and traditional industries have shaped the community, with weekly markets continuing this commercial tradition.

Betws-y-Coed lies at the wooded confluence of the Conwy, Llugwy, and Lledr rivers. The village is a focal point for the surrounding Gwydir Forest, with numerous footpaths and the Miner's Bridge crossing a steep gorge. The arrival of the railway in the 19th century cemented its role, and the distinctive Swiss-style architecture of buildings like the former chapel now housing the Conwy Valley Railway Museum marks this period.
