Fairy Glen
The Fairy Glen is a secluded and enchanting gorge on the river Conwy. A favourite with artists and photographers alike. Located only a short distance from Beaver bridge on the outskirts of Betws y Coed, a combination of rapids and cascades on the Conwy river that are chanelled into a narrow ravine. Wooded banks and rock walls clothed with vegetation add to the charm.
This attraction can be easily visited whilst staying in the Conwy Valley, and is 1 miles (2 km) from Betws-y-Coed as the crow flies (straight line distance). See the routeplanner below for a suggested route and estimated journey time.
