Photograph by David Coleman. Betws-y-Coed, often described as the 'gateway to Snowdonia', is a picturesque village located in the Conwy Valley of North Wales. The village street captured in this image exemplifies the charm that has made Betws-y-Coed a beloved tourist destination for over a century. The street is likely lined with traditional stone buildings, many of which may date back to the Victorian era when the village experienced growth due to the arrival of the railway. These buildings now house a mix of local shops, cafes, outdoor equipment stores, and guesthouses, catering to the village's role as a base for exploring Snowdonia National Park. Betws-y-Coed's setting, at the confluence of the Rivers Conwy, Llugwy, and Lledr, has shaped its development and appeal. The surrounding landscape of forests, mountains, and waterfalls has made it a hub for outdoor enthusiasts, particularly hikers and mountain bikers. The village's name, meaning "prayer house in the wood" in Welsh, hints at its long history, which includes the 14th-century St. Michael's Church, one of the oldest in Wales. Today, Betws-y-Coed seamlessly blends this rich heritage with its role as a modern tourist center, offering visitors a quintessential Welsh village experience amidst the stunning scenery of Snowdonia.
