The River Conwy passes through a broad valley flanked by forest and farmland on its journey from mountain to sea. This green valley, long renowned for its beauty, is the dominant feature in a landscape of great variety. Close by there are tumbling falls, wooded gorges, mountain lakes, high moor and a charming stretch of the North Wales coast. There’s also a great choice of places to stay from classy hotels to hideaway cottages.
