A true outdoor lovers' mecca, Betws-y-Coed is a great gateway to Snowdonia National Park. Anyone who has driven into Snowdonia on the A5 will have noted its picturesque setting, its alpine character and its numerous gear shops, cafes, hotels and B&Bs.
Betws-y-Coed is surrounded by the gorgeous Gwydyr Forest, which boasts a variety of trails. Moel Siabod is prominent from many points in the village and it is only a short drive to starting points for Snowdon and the Glyderau.

A gorgeous village fondly called the "Gateway to Snowdonia". Often found teeming with hikers, mountain bikers and cyclists, it's a haven for lovers of the great outdoors. Weekend events and festivals can make the village busier than usual but the traffic is slow and perfectly comfortable to navigate by bike.

Would highly recommend The Alpine Coffee shop for cake, coffee and lunch. With a menu varying daily and plenty of choice for meat-eaters, vegans and gluten-free diets it's the perfect fuelling stop for every adventure. The products are all produced with sustainability and fair trade in mind. The cafe had a bustling and friendly atmosphere with helpful and efficient staff.
