The view of the Conwy Valley from the terraced garden of the lovely pub "Ye Olde Bull Inn " Llanbedr-y-Cennin Conwy Valley Llanbedr-y-Cennin is a small village in Conwy County borough, Wales. It lies in the foothills on the western side of the Conwy valley, in Wales. The river Conwy runs through the valley, running into the sea to the north, at the town of Conwy, which is about five miles north of the village. The village lies on the eastern edge of the Snowdonia National Park. Near the village lies the Iron Age fort of Pen y Gaer. The village has no bus routes, but can be accessed by road from the B5106 at nearby Tal-y-Bont, which is served by Arriva Buses Wales. In recent years the village has become popular with ornithologists as one of the best places in Wales to observe rare hawfinches. They feed adjacent to the churchyard, attracting many bird watchers in early spring. "Llanbedr" means St Peter's church in Welsh, while Rennin can refer to leeks or to daffodils, the latter being "Rennin Pedr" (St Peter's leeks) in Welsh. The village grew out of a mainly pastoral industry mostly sheep farming and dairy produce. It has a parish church (Anglican), a Nonconformist chapel (Independent), and a local pub (Ye Olde Bull Inn) which serves J.W. Lees real ale from a Manchester brewery. In the 1960s, the village's only shop used to be a bakery and post office also, but the post office has been discontinued. An ancient well at Llanbedr-y-Cennin, ‘Ffyonnen Bedr’ (‘Peter’s Well’) was believed to have healing powers. Conwy Valley North Wales 2015
