Betws-y-Coed

-Get a copy of “Walks Around Betws-Y-Coed.” Llyn Elsi hike is the best.

-The pubs close early, so don’t wait until late to eat!

-You MUST visit the Fairy Glen!

-If you like seclusion, take the bus a few miles down to Dolwyddelan… you may find yourself all alone in the castle, which is a really cool feeling.

I live in Betws-y-Coed at the moment, unfortunately my time here is comeing to an end soon and I have to go back home to Victoria. Betws is such a cute little village/town thingy. Far enough away from everything but close enough. Great mountains around like Snowdon, Tryfan, Y Garn, Siabod, Glyder Fach and Glyder Fawr, just to name a few. great bike trails and really nice pubs. I honestly don’t want to leave and plan to come back fairly soon.

There’s something amazing about this town! I need to return one day to put my finger on why it’s affected me so, years after staying just one night! The townies were sooo nice…

Splendiferus! Absoluetly marvolous! Its succulent yet timid! Brilliant!!
