Llanrwst is a market town which stands in the Conwy Valley, only four miles from Betws-y-Coed, known as the ‘Gateway to Snowdonia’ and which is North Wales’s most popular inland resort. Surrounded by woodland and mountain country, this is a haven for walkers and outdoor enthusiasts. At Betws-y-Coed the River Conwy meets its three tributaries flowing from the west, and the beauty of the area is enhanced by cascading waterfalls, river pools and ancient bridges. Most famous of all are the Swallow Falls, situated where the Llugwy River hurls itself into a spectacular chasm. The village has shops, pubs, places to eat, miniature railway, a riverside golf course and the Woodland High Rope Activity Centre, and is home to The Snowdonia National Park Visitor Centre, as well as being the start of the Conwy Valley which leads to the coast and the towns of Llandudno and Conwy.
