Llanrwst, North Wales
Click here to read more... Llanrwst is the main market town in the Conwy Valley reached either along the A470 or across the River Conwy from Trefriw by a famous bridge, probably designed by Inigo Jones, and built in 1636.

Near the bridge is a 15th century cottage, Tu Hwnt i'r Bont, once a courthouse and now a tea room owned by the National Trust. On the west bank of the Conwy stands Gwydir Castle, for centuries the seat of the influential Wynn family. The house has a fine sequence of Tudor rooms, though much of the house was rebuilt in the 19th century. The current owners are undertaking an extensive programme to restore Gwydir Castle to its former glory. read more...
