In Trefriw, one turns inland up a very steep
and narrow road. This beautiful wooded valley contains rushing streams,
waterfalls and Crafnant reservoir. |

Also from Trefriw, there is a tiny gated road that takes
you the scenic way to Betwys y Coed. And, oh how scenic! |
 |
In case you didn't know, the sheep is king around here.
Here is the king outside his castle. |

The area has a history of mining. There are
signs of copper mining here. Not any more though. |

| The peace is shattered by some screaming girls being
towed at speed behind a motor boat.
Minors, not Miners. Mmmm |
 |
On the way back to the car, there was this
monument to Taliesyn, Chief Bard of the 6th Century. |

You can read it for yourself. |

Back in the Conway valley, Llanrwyst is a smashing spot
for family fun in the river. At some point in recent
winters, however, this spot would be several metres under water in flood
water. |
