Betws yn Rhos is a village and community located about 5 miles inland between the coastal towns of Abergele and Colwyn Bay. The hills to the south of Betws yn Rhos lie close to, and rise steeply from, the village centre. This provides a number of far reaching views, notably in a northern direction to the sea through the dramatic valley of the Afon Dulas with Craig y Forwyn on the western side and Pen y Corddyn Mawr to the east.

Bold, angular shapes in this new, opportunistic development off Ffordd y Mynydd. The word "executive" on the sales board says it all really. The old mill stream is now rather hemmed in between two access roads, I just hope it behaves itself.

Betws yn Rhos is a village and community located about 5 miles inland between the coastal towns of Abergele and Colwyn Bay. Prominently sited in a raised, rubble-walled churchyard in the centre of the village, the twin spires and simple, naive Gothic style of Saint Michael’s church give it a kind of “fairytale” look. It was built in 1838, replacing a much earlier mediæval church (possibly that mentioned in the Lincoln Taxatio of 1291). It is grade II-listed by Cadw because of its “special historic interest as an eccentrically-designed early Victorian church with well-preserved character in a prominent setting within the village (Cadw Building ID: 169 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/wa-169-parish-church-of-st-michael-betws-yn-rhos#.VTktMWd0x_s British Listed Buildings).
