Llanrwst sits in the beautiful Conwy Valley in Conwy County, North Wales. The busy little town sits on the east bank of the River Conwy. It is no longer the only bridging point of the river, yet it still wears an air of importance as the market town for the Conwy Valley. | Pont Fawr, the steep and elegant stone bridge designed by Inigo Jones, is however still the town's focal point. The 16th century bridge is so narrow as to allow single file traffic only, thus causing many a heated argument at the top of the bridge and bringing a new meaning to the words "cross over the bridge".

Inigo Jones designed another of Llanrwst's memorable buildings the 17th century Gwydir Chapel in the grounds of St Grwst's Church. St Grwst’s sits on the river bank close to the town square and unbeknown to many passers-by holds, within the Gwydir Chapel, one of Wales’ most important historic artefacts …the massive stone sarcophagus of Llywelyn the Great. The Chapel was built for the powerful Wynne family, whose home was across the river at Gwydir Castle. Magnificent portrait brasses and an effigy of a knight in armour accompany the old cold empty coffin. more information about Llanrwst
