The Conwy’s three tributaries, the Llugwy,the Lledr and the Machno, meet at Wales’most popular inland resort, justifiably famous for its spectacular waterfalls, woodlands and supremely beautiful mountain setting.

Betws-y-Coed was Britain’s first artists’ colony and internationally renowned with artists’ paintings of the ravishing scenery transforming the village into a tourist mecca. The colony was “founded” in the middle of the 19th Century by the great watercolourist David Cox. A beechwood near the Swallow Falls became known as Artists’ Wood, because it was painted so often.
