More about this scene
There was little going on in Betwys-y -Coed until the road was improved for the Irish Mail in 1808. As part of the A5 road construction, Thomas Telford built the elegant Waterloo Bridge (Y Bont Haearn - the Iron Bridge) in 1815, and the defeat of Napoleon is proudly commemorated on its side.
