Details

Located within Betws-y-Coed, this bridge built in 1930 is a must see attraction for the local town.

Originally built in WW1 to assist the local soldiers stationed near Betws-y-Coed, the bridge was eventually upgraded to the marvel you see today. It has stood over the river Conwy for over 90 years and is a magnificent work of engineering to behold.

The entrance to the bridge is a little tucked away, but if you head over to St Michael’s Old Church (Also well worth a visit!) – you should be able to find it just next to the entrance.

The bridge can be a little wobbly but the views as you cross make it well worth it! I’m sure this would be a great spot for a picnic or just to take in the sights and have a rest from all the walks in the local area.

From here, you can continue on to discover other walking trails or turn back and have a explore the local town and all its hidden gems!
