The location

Just down the road is the Welsh National Mountain centre of Plas-y-Brenin with its indoor climbing wall, indoor swimming pool, canoeing and kayaking lake and other facilities (pre-booked use only). This all provides an excellent location for touring, relaxing, hill walking, rock climbing, canoeing/kayaking, mountain biking and other adventurous activities. The mountains are on the doorstep and either the north or west coasts are just a ~30 min drive for either dramatic cliffs, a dune and pine seascape or endless stretching sandy beaches. Arguably the best location from which to explore Snowdonia.

Our area

Capel Curig is in the heart of the Snowdonia mountains, surrounded by the villages of Betws-y-coed, Beddgelert and Llanberis. Within a short drive are the popular coastal tourist resorts of Conwy, Porthmadog and Llandudno with their beaches, rich history and tourist attractions.

The area is perfect for walkers and climbers with Snowdonia's fourteen 3,000ft plus peaks all within easy reach for enthusiasts, and plenty of gentler, lower level walks to suit the less energetic.

Local attractions

There is a comprehensive collection of maps, guidebooks and tourist information leaflets etc at the cottage to help you make the most of your stay at Riverbank Cottage.

The cottage is within short drives to many of North Wales' best activities including both Zip Line attractions (the longest zip line in the UK and zip lines in caverns), Surf Snowdonia with it's artificial surfing pool, surf lessons & café, Tree top high ropes or journeys into the slate or copper mines. Many beautiful gardens including Portmeirion and Bodnant are a short drive and Anglesey with it's beaches, dramatic coastlines and castles are a 45min drive.

Eating out

The village has two hotels which serve food : Bryn Tyrch and the Tyn-y-Coed which serve bar meals, with vegetarian food a speciality of the Bryn Tyrch. There are also several cafes: the Pinnacle Cafe and Bryn Glo Café. The Welsh National Mountain centre, Plas-y-Brenin has a public bar which serves bar meals 5 minutes walk from the cottage.

Betws-y-coed, just a few miles away, offers a wide selection of hotels, bars and restaurants being the largest inland tourist resort in Wales.

At the far end of Betws-y-coed is the hotel and restaurant Ty Gwyn (the White House) which is highly recommended for its food.
