Staying here for a week starting 8th August. Can anybody comment on how windy this site or the general area gets?

Does anybody know if there are any walks (i.e. pub runs) from the site into town avoiding the main road, as walking the road looks naff?

Just ran it through a translator, and yep it is in there:

Farm = amaetha, amaethu, amaethwch, ffarmia, ffarmio, ffarmiwch, ffermia, ffermio, ffermiwch, amaethdy, dyddyn, ffarm, fferm, ffermdy, hafod, hamaethdy, tyddyn

So it must be Farm Farm.

Thanks for the info on the area,

The site is pretty flat and (for the area) low lying so won't suffer as much as some sites in the area. I recall more of an issue with road noise when we stayed last year. The area itself can suffer from wind and weather swirling in off the Irish Sea and round the mountain ranges; but it can also be good - dependent on how the British Summer performs!

If you were going to walk to Betws the grass verge was the only way I was aware of. This is quite a wide verge but not the best walk, especially as traffic does hurtle along the road. However you can cut through, as mentioned earlier, part way down. The route towards Llanrwst is better but the town is not really a tourist destination, although the chip shop just off the main square is certainly worth a visit.

Thanks for all the response. I'll probably be taking our steel poled tent, as it needs some use this year, so wind is less of an issue with that.

Pity about the walk into town, but never mind. I have looked at the OS map and aerial photographs and spotted the path that goes to the bridge over the river.

I did question whether the road would be noisy before booking, but have stayed at a site in Wales by the A470 further south before and I didn't find it that busy at night - fingers crossed.

The bus is a good call thanks.
