Talybont
Tal-y-Bont is a tiny village in Conwy County Borough, Wales and also depends on the Conwy Valley, west of the River Conwy, on the B5106 road, 6 miles from the community of Conwy to the north, as well as 6 miles from Llanrwst to the south, and also in the community of Caerhun. It lies adjacent to the village of Dolgarrog to the south, and below the tiny negotiation of Llanbedr-y-Cennin to the west. The 'Bont' (the mutated kind of pont, Welsh for "bridge") in the name most likely describes the bridge over the Afon Dulyn, a tributary of the close-by River Conwy, which goes through the town. Tal-y-Bont is the beginning point for the road to Llyn Eigiau as well as the southern Carneddau hills. Access to the north end of the Carneddau Range as well as the Roman road over to Aberystwyth can also be attained by adhering to the road up from Tal-y-Bont through Llanbedr-y-Cennin - which is on the eastern edge of the Snowdonia National Forest - and taking a left fork at the bar, Ye Olde Bull Inn, in Llanbedr. Walkers can access optimals in the north end of the Carneddau Range such as Drum as well as Foel Fras, and then continue south eastern to get to Carnedd Llewelyn.
