Explore the Area
Instead of hurrying through this beautiful
area of North Wales, why not take some time to explore the delights
of the Conwy Valley, whilst staying with us at the Old Rectory.
 |
Conwy
The medieval walled town of Conwy is so historically important
it has been recognised as a 'World Heritage Site'. The walk
around the top of the town walls is unique in Wales. Also
in Conwy, is the recently restored Plas Mawr, one of
the finest Elizabethan town houses in Britain. Conwy also
contains the smallest house in Britain.

Open every day from
mid-March to 31st October.
80 acres of magnificent garden |
Bodnant Gardens
We are fortunate to have one of the worlds finest gardens
only 3 miles away.
-
daffodils, spring bulbs, camellias,
magnolias, early-flowering rhododendrons and cherries
in March to early April
-
Rhododendrons are at their
best mid-April and the spectacular Japanese and deciduous
azaleas from mid-May. The famous original laburnum Arch
usually flowers mid-May for 3 to 4 weeks.
-
Herbaceous borders, roses,
hydrangeas, clematis and water-lilies from mid-June to
September
-
Superb autumn colours from
mid October onwards
|
Crafnant
Further down the valley, in the lee of the Carneddau mountains,
is a mini "Lake District", with uncrowded walks
for all levels of ability. |

 |
Swallow Falls
Only 14 miles further down the valley is the world famous
"Swallow Falls" on the outskirts of Betws-y-coed.
Here beautiful riverside and woodland walks can be enjoyed.
The Conwy Valley also contains pre-historic burial chambers,
Roman and iron-age forts, medieval churches and a victorian
spa - a time capsule for all our guests. |
Forget the car, 'Let the train take
the strain'
Rail times from London Euston are approximately 3½ hours to Llandudno
Junction, 2 miles from the Old Rectory. Within 200 yards of the
station are Avis car hire, Tel 01492 585101. A railway line down
the Conwy Valley links to the Ffestiniog narrow gauge railway, where
there are wonderful walks from station to station in the heart of
Snowdonia.
Conwy, Llandudno and Bodnant Gardens
are all within 10 minutes ride by taxi.
