Talybont
Tal-y-Bont is a little town in Conwy County Borough, Wales and also depends on the Conwy Valley, west of the River Conwy, on the B5106 road, six miles from the town of Conwy to the north, and also 6 miles from Llanrwst to the south, and in the community of Caerhun. It lies adjacent to the village of Dolgarrog to the south, as well as 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 refers to the bridge over the Afon Dulyn, a tributary of the nearby River Conwy, which goes through the village. Tal-y-Bont is the starting factor for the roadway to Llyn Eigiau and also the southerly Carneddau mountains. Accessibility to the north end of the Carneddau Range and also the Roman road over to Aberystwyth can also be attained by following the road up from Tal-y-Bont through Llanbedr-y-Cennin - which is on the eastern edge of the Snowdonia National Forest - as well as taking a left fork at the club, Ye Olde Bull Inn, in Llanbedr. Pedestrians can access peaks in the northern end of the Carneddau Range such as Drum and Foel Fras, and afterwards continue southern eastern to reach Carnedd Llewelyn.
