Llangollen to Betws-y-Coed

The journey begins in Llangollen, a charming town nestled on the River Dee. Llangollen is known for its picturesque setting, with the stunning Dee Valley providing a beautiful backdrop. Visitors can enjoy historical sites such as the Llangollen Canal, the famous Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), and the Llangollen Railway.

As we move towards Betws-y-Coed, we will pass through charming villages like Llanarmon Dyffryn Ceiriog, where traditional Welsh cottages dot the landscape, and the rolling hills surround us with a sense of serenity. The route then passes through Glyn Ceiriog, another picturesque village, located in a valley with the Ceiriog River running through it.

The journey culminates in Betws-y-Coed, a popular tourist town in Snowdonia National Park. Known as the “Gateway to Snowdonia,” Betws-y-Coed offers an array of outdoor activities and we will pass the dense forests and waterfalls nearby, such as the famous Swallow Falls.
