Tal-y-Bont is a small village in Conwy County Borough, Wales and also lies in the Conwy Valley, west of the River Conwy, on the B5106 road, 6 miles from the town of Conwy to the north, and 6 miles from Llanrwst to the south, as well as in the area of Caerhun. It lies beside the town of Dolgarrog to the south, and also below the tiny negotiation of Llanbedr-y-Cennin to the west. The 'Bont' (the altered form of pont, Welsh for "bridge") in the name probably refers to the bridge over the Afon Dulyn, a tributary of the close-by River Conwy, which goes through the town. Tal-y-Bont is the starting point for the road to Llyn Eigiau and also the southerly Carneddau hills. Accessibility to the northern end of the Carneddau Range and the Roman road over to Aberystwyth can likewise be attained by adhering to the road up from Tal-y-Bont with Llanbedr-y-Cennin - which gets on the eastern edge of the Snowdonia National Forest - and also taking a left fork at the club, Ye Olde Bull Inn, in Llanbedr. Walkers can access tops in the northern end of the Carneddau Range such as Drum and Foel Fras, and then continue south eastern to get to Carnedd Llewelyn.
