Situated in the beautiful Machno Valley and just eight miles from the popular town of Betws-y-Coed is the scattered, sleepy village of Cwm Penmachno. Set in dense woodland against a backdrop of magnificent mountains and flowing rivers, the whole area is full of interesting walking and cycling routes as well as excellent spots for bird watchers. The town itself offers a wide selection of shops, pubs and cafes whilst the nearby River Conwy meets its three tributaries in a spectacular number of cascading waterfalls, river pools and ancient bridges. The most impressive of these falls is the one at Swallow Falls, situated where the River Llugwy meets the Conwy. In addition to the beautiful scenery inland, the Welsh Heritage Coastline is also within easy reach making this a diverse location.
