Betws-y-Coed Railway Station

Highlight • Settlement

The charming tourist hotspot of Betws-y-Coed is served by this small station on the Conwy Valley Line. The village is popular with walkers and lies within the boundary of the Eryri National Park. The railway passes through some of the most picturesque scenery Wales has to offer. Nearby Swallow Falls is a beautiful place to visit, as is the Neolithic cemetery at Capel Garmon.
The original stone station, opened in 1868, still stands and was built by local craftsmen. Mainly used by freight transport equipment, as the number of tourists increased, passenger services became more frequent.

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.
