A small Welsh village named the best place to live in the UK this winter
If you want to explore the wonders of the UK this winter, there is a tiny village in Wales that is one of the best places to spend a cosy vacation. The tiny village has been recognized as the best to visit in winter due to its combination of wildlife and cosiness.
The charming Welsh village of Betws-y-Coed, recently voted the best by The Travel, looks like it came out of a fairy tale, especially when it is decorated with a layer of snow. Over the years, it has gained popularity among tourists looking for scenic hikes in the woods, exploring the ice waterfalls in the park, and discovering the village's many medieval monuments with a history. This was reported by express.co.
Located in the valley where the River Llugwy and the River Lled merge with the Conwy River, Betws-y-Coed is a tiny town surrounded by natural wonders. The gentle flow of the Llugwy River crossing the village, spanned by the quaint stone bridge of Pont-y-Pair, adds to its appeal.
Attractions include the delightful Conwy Valley Miniature Railway, which offers a quaint journey through the neighbourhood, and the village Railway Museum.
The village is a hub for outdoor activities, including hiking, mountain biking, and exploring the stunning landscapes of the Snowdonia National Park.
This location offers a variety of accommodation options to suit your preferences.
There are two best options to get to Betws-y-Coed from London: a five-and-a-half-hour car ride or an alternative journey of just over four hours by a series of trains departing from Euston. The village can be reached via Betws-y-Coed railway station, a stop on the Conwy Valley line.
