St Mary's Church

Reviewed By Garethfromllandudno - Llandudno, United Kingdom

Well worth a visit and thanks to Friends of Friendless Churches in keeping this open. Interesting 15th century cross in churchyard and superb rood and stained glass windows inside. Worth combining with a visit to Aberclwyd Manor on a Wednesday

St. Michael's Old Church

Small 14th century church standing on the banks of the River Conwy. Now redundant, it is in the care of the St Michael's Betws-y-Coed Trust.

Reviewed By 255helenn - Newport, United Kingdom

This is a lovely old church, slightly away from the centre of Betws-y-Coed. There is a fine stone effigy of a knight, and a font that is older than the church building. A recording of choral music adds to the peaceful atmosphere. If you like historic buildings or are looking for a restful retreat for a few minutes, away from the busy streets of Betws-y-Coed, this is well worth a visit.

Rug Chapel

The chapel’s plain exterior gives little hint of the riches within Religiously glorious in glorious technicolour. Never judge a chapel, or a church for that matter, by its exterior. Step inside 17th-century Rug Chapel and prepare to be wowed by its decorative flourishes. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.

Valle Crucis Abbey

A visit to this fascinating site evokes the lives of the Cistercian monks Cistercian monks loved all things austere. Solitude ruled absolute. Finding this remote yet magical location must have at least raised a smile or two amongst the serious-minded bretheren. Building work got underway in 1201. Seven centuries later and the abbey is one of the best preserved in Wales. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.

Reviewed By Scene-set - Wokingham, United Kingdom

.......but we persevered and pleased that we did! Slightly disconcerting approach, as if you are visiting the adjacent caravan park. Once at the Abbey entrance there are parking spaces reserved for visitors (but very few) Although a ‘ruin’ as such, parts are amazingly well preserved and the grounds immaculately maintained. If not for the weather on the day of our visit I would happily have spent a lot longer taking in its history and the solitude that still prevails! (Be aware when exiting onto the main road - traffic seems to travel quite fast and visibility in either direction is not brilliant)
