Betws-y-Coed sits where the River Conwy meets the River Llugwy at the eastern edge of Snowdonia, and its name means "prayer-house in the woods" — a monastery is known to have stood here since the 6th century.
Where British landscape painting found its home
In 1844 the painter David Cox settled in Betws-y-Coed, and the village became Britain's first artists' colony as a result. Artists, poets and writers followed, drawn by the clean air and the dramatic scenery where four rivers meet.
A bridge built for the road to Ireland
In 1815 the engineer Thomas Telford built the Waterloo Bridge across the Conwy here, carrying the new London to Holyhead road — now the A5 — through the village. The roads and later the railways that followed are what opened Betws-y-Coed up to the visitors who still arrive today.
