Betws y Coed in North Wales

Caernarfonshire, Betws-y-Coed, Waterloo Bridge built in 1815, the same year as the Battle of Waterloo - Thomas Telford Architect.

Betws y Coed in North Wales - Betws is the welsh for Bede House, meaning Church - therefore I guess the literal translation is Church in the Trees. Betws y Coed has been a holy place for a long time, and as well as the more modern church (1873) of St Mary, there is the ancient church of St Michael's, which is the oldest surviving building in the village.

Betws y Coed is in a beautiful location and is a favourite haunt of locals and holiday makers alike. An air of tranquility fills this place, and it is the ideal place to get away from it all. With places to visit, places to shop, places to stay, and places to eat, there is all you could want in a break or vacation.
