Sarn Helen Roman Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

An off road route suitable for a MTB or gravel bike. Quiet and peaceful with beautiful scenery all around.

This forms part of the Sarn Helen route that crosses Wales from Conwy to Swansea, although the exact route in certain places remains a mystery.

What is certain is that this way is very ancient indeed!

Betws-y-Coed Village

Highlight • Rest Area

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.

Conwy Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

Towering above Conwy, Conwy Castle defended the town from sieges and battles, sheltering various monarchs during wars. The castle was built between 1283 and 1289 by Edward I after his conquest of Wales.

The castle is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site considered one of the finest examples of military architecture in Europe.

The castle is open from 9.30am until 5pm (sometimes until 6pm during high season). Adult tickets cost £12.70.
