Trefriw Wells Spa
It is believed that Trefriw Wells Spa was first discovered by Romans from the XX Roman legion stationed at Canovium, 3 miles north of Trefriw. In about 1874 a Victorian bath and pump house was built and for the first time the water was sold to the public.
On a self guided tour, you can enter the ancient cavern and sample the water direct from the rock, see the cyclopean bath house and discover many interesting items unique to Trefriw Wells Spa.
There is also a tearoom and Spa Beauty shop.
This attraction can be easily visited whilst staying in the Conwy Valley, and is 6 miles (9 km) from Betws-y-Coed as the crow flies (straight line distance). See the routeplanner below for a suggested route and estimated journey time.
