Day 1: London –Betws-y-Coed – Swallow Falls – Fairy Glen Betwsy-y-Coed Betws-y-Coed is a gorgeous little village within Snowdonia National Park. The main village is simply a main road with lots of little shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. I’d recommend parking up and walking the length of the road. There are lots of outdoorsy shops and small boutiques selling local crafts and paintings. If the weather is nice, find a pub with some outdoor seating and enjoy a beer in the sunshine – Stables Lodge is pretty good for cheap and cheerful meals and drinks. Then get yourself an ice cream and head to the river where you can sit and watch the water rushing by.
