Tu-Hwnt-I'r Bont Tearoom, Llanrwst in North Wales, on the Conwy River........Tu Hwnt i'r Bont is a 15th-century grade II listed building in the Community of Trefriw, in the county of Conwy, north Wales. It is situated on the left bank of the River Conwy across Pont Fawr ('Big Bridge') from the town of Llanrwst.
Originally built as a farmhouse, Tu Hwnt i’r Bont (Beyond the Bridge) is actually considerably older than the Inigo Jones bridge it stands beside. Some years later during the 16th century the building was used as the Courthouse for the surrounding area.
Over the centuries Tu Hwnt i’r Bont has fallen into disrepair several times and been rebuilt and restored. During the last century, Tu Hwnt i’r Bont was acquired by the National Trust who have since leased the building for over 50 years.
A decision was made by the original leaseholder, over half a century ago, to turn Tu Hwnt i’r Bont into a traditional Welsh Tea Rooms.

Pont Fawr Bridge Llanrwst North Wales UK in 4K
A ford crossed the river Conwy in this vicinity long before it was bridged. The original bridge was declared unsafe
n 1626 and preparations began for its replacement, funded by the people of Caernarfonshire (west of the river) and Denbighshire (east of the river). In 1634 four Lancashire stonemasons were contracted to build the new bridge. The year 1636 and the royal coat of arms are shown on a plaque on the upstream side of the bridge, which is known as Pont Fawr (“large bridge”).
The workmen who built the bridge inserted the keystones for the central arch upside down. This was not discovered until the opening day, when the arch collapsed. The central arch rises to c.18 metres above the water.
The bridge features cutwaters – stonework shaped like a ship’s bow – up its full height. The river is the outlet for rainwater and meltwater from across a large area of Snowdonia including Dyffryn Mymbyr (around Capel Curig), one of the wettest places in Britain. The western arch was rebuilt in 1703, after the original collapsed in 1702. Since then the bridge has stood the test of countless floods and the advent of motorised road vehicles.
The bridge is too narrow for vehicles to pass, and the hump-back limits forward visibility. This explains the local nickname Pont y Rhegi – bridge of swearing.
The renowned architect Inigo Jones was professionally associated with the wealthy Wynn family of Llanrwst, and legend has it that he designed Pont Fawr.

Llanrwst is a small town and community on the A470 road and the River Conwy, in Conwy County Borough, Wales. Llanrwst developed around the wool trade, but also became renowned for harp and clock manufacture.
Today, lying as it does on the edge of Snowdonia (Snowdonia starts about 3/4 mile away on the other side of the river Conwy), its main industry – aside that of being a market town – is tourism.
Notable buildings in Llanrwst include the almshouses, two 17th-century chapels and the Parish Church of St Grwst, which holds the stone coffin of Llywelyn the Great.
The site of the original church dedicated to St Grwst was Cae Llan in Llanrwst (land now occupied by the Seion Methodist Chapel).[4] The current church is on land which was donated in around 1170 by Rhun ap Nefydd Hardd, a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Gwynedd, specifically to build a new church dedicated to Grwst.
Llanrwst developed around the wool trade, and for a long time the price of wool for the whole of Britain was set here. The growth of the town in the 13th century was considerably aided by an edict by Edward I of England (who built Conwy Castle) prohibiting any Welshman from trading within 10 miles (16 km) of the town of Conwy. Llanrwst, located some 13 miles (21 km) from that town, was strategically placed to benefit from this.
Llanrwst lies between 10 and 50 metres (33 and 160 ft) above sea level on the eastern bank of the River Conwy. The A470 trunk route between North and South Wales runs through the town, where it is joined by the A548 main road from Rhyl, Prestatyn and Chester. To the south west of the town is the Gwydir Forest. On the hills above is the Moel Maelogan wind farm; the electricity generated by these turbines is sent to the town's sub-station.
Llanrwst is served by two railway stations, Llanrwst and North Llanrwst, on the Conwy Valley Line (which once terminated here, before being extended to Betws-y-Coed in 1867 and Blaenau Ffestiniog in 1879). It was originally envisaged that the railway would pass closer to the river (on the site of today's Central Garage), and the Victoria Hotel was built opposite the bridge in anticipation of this. Had the railway line been built on the west bank of the River Conwy, as originally planned (to serve the inland port of Trefriw located across the river from Llanrwst), it is unlikely that Llanrwst would ever have achieved its present status.

Scenic Beauty of Aber Falls, North Wales, Easter Weekend, 2019
Aber Falls (Welsh: Rhaeadr Fawr) is a waterfall located about two miles (3 km) south of the village of Abergwyngregyn, Gwynedd, Wales.
The waterfall is formed as the Afon Goch plunges about 120 feet (37 m) over a sill of igneous rock in the foothills of the Carneddau range.
Two tributaries merge; the enlarged stream is known as Afon Rhaeadr Fawr; from the road bridge, Bont Newydd (New Bridge), the name becomes Afon Aber.
(Ref: Wikipedia)
It is an amazing, picturesque and breathtaking scenery. Nice lovely gentle uphill walk with great views on the way to the fantastic waterfall.
People had pushed prams and wheelchairs to the falls so it's pram/wheelchair accessible. Lovely grassy areas near the falls for resting or picnics.
