With a name that literally means 'prayer house in the wood', Betws-y-Coed is a village in the Conwy valley in northern Wales. To this day, you can still visit the 'prayer house' in question, the Church of St Michael on the banks of the River Conwy. Dating back to the 14th century, the Church is the oldest building still standing in Betws-y-Coed.

But perhaps the thing that draws most people to Betws-y-Coed is not the old church, but the waterfalls. This is where the River Conwy is joined by the Llugwy and the Lledr, so it's no surprise that there are so many amazing waterfalls to see in the area. And the most famous of them all is Swallow Falls, a mile along the Llugwy from the village. The Welsh name, Rhaeadr Ewynnol, actually means 'Foaming Waterfall' - an appropriate name for these foaming white cascades of water, tumbling over the rocks from a height of 42 metres.

This design showcases one of the most popular spots in Snowdonia, the falls backed by a rich autumn palette of birch and beech trees - a wonderful scene to enjoy as you dry the dishes!

Half Panama organic bleached cotton (heavy weight, textured finish). Stitched on all four sides. Includes hanging loop. Measures approximately 48cm x 70cm. Machine wash at 40 degrees max. We recommend that before you use your tea towel for the first time you wash it at least once to soften up the material and make it more absorbent for drying dishes. Please note size can vary slightly.

    The teatowel was as usually of good quality, but this (as with the gower)also has awarm nostalgic value of which we hope for more.
