Things to see and do Betws-Y-Coed

Swallow Falls (Rhaeadr Ewynnolin Welsh) is the highest continuous waterfall in Wales and one of the most visited sites in the region. Magnificent viewpoint, where the river Llugwy rushes into an impressive chasm.It is accessible year-round, but be aware that during the summer months, when there is less rainfall, the waterfall may be less spectacular. It is particularly recommended that you visit in the spring or fall, when the water level is at its highest.

For train enthusiasts and novices alike, a highly accessible and interactive museum that's sure to delight everyone. Inside, you'll find an exhibition room with photos and models of historic trains, while outside you'll find vintage locomotives that you can visit, and a miniature train on which you can take a ten-minute ride through the surrounding countryside. Finally, there's a comprehensive specialist store to round off your trip.

Past Swallow Falls, facing the Llugwy River, we come face to face with "The Ugly House", which looks more like a pile of stones than a house; even if we find it wildly charming! The reason would be that, at one time, any construction built in one day was tax-exempt! It was once a stopover for Irish farmers who drove their cattle to market.

Today, a small tea room has been set up, as well as an upstairs exhibition on the bee protection program undertaken here.
