Talybont
Tal-y-Bont is a small town in Conwy County Borough, Wales and also hinges on the Conwy Valley, west of the River Conwy, on the B5106 road, six miles from the community of Conwy to the north, and also six miles from Llanrwst to the south, as well as in the area of Caerhun. It exists adjacent to the village of Dolgarrog to the south, and below the small settlement of Llanbedr-y-Cennin to the west. The 'Bont' (the altered form of pont, Welsh for "bridge") in the name most likely describes the bridge over the Afon Dulyn, a tributary of the neighboring River Conwy, which goes through the village. 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 and the Roman road over to Aberystwyth can also be attained by following the road up from Tal-y-Bont with Llanbedr-y-Cennin - which gets on the eastern edge of the Snowdonia National Park - and also taking a left fork at the pub, Ye Olde Bull Inn, in Llanbedr. Pedestrians can access peaks in the northern end of the Carneddau Range such as Drum as well as Foel Fras, and after that continue south eastern to reach Carnedd Llewelyn.
