More about this scene

This famous resort on the Holyhead road, in the narrow, deeply-glaciated valley of the river Conwy, became popular when it was reached by the railway in Victorian times. It has remained a tourist honeypot ever since. There are several fine Victorian hotels from which visitors can still explore the fine landscape and foaming rivers. This evocative view of the deep and leafy valley was taken from above the famous Miners' Bridge.
