Over the last few days we have begun to see the signs of Spring. The lambs are in the fields - some with their jackets on - and the leaves are coming out on the trees. It is a truly beautiful time of the year to visit Betws-y-coed. Now that our alterations are coming to an end we can look forward to seeing you at The Courthouse(Henllys). We re-open on 18 April 2008.

Grand Designs

At long last our building works are coming to an end. Folks have said it reminded them of 'Grand Designs'. It has been a very interesting time but not one to be repeated.

We re-open on 18 April - please do come and visit us.

It is located in the Snowdonia National Park (Welsh: Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri) in the county of Gwynedd.
