Betsw-y-coed

Upon arrival, did the usual stop at the Tourist Authority. Was booked at a lovely B&B, as usual. Then set out to wander.

Extensive passenger and goods facilities were however provided at Betws-y-Coed, where the station, which was opened in 1868, adjoins the London to Holyhead A5 turnpike road and was thus ideally located to serve many isolated communities in Snowdonia and also the rapidly developing tourist industry. The district has magnificent scenery and there are several spectacular waterfalls, including the much visited Swallow Falls, which are served by frequent Sherpa buses from Betws-y-Coed station. 82060801
