This is the Tu Hwnt l'r
Bont tearoom in the Conwy valley, Snowdonia. The old cottage's name
translates as 'beyond the bridge'. This wonderful picture was taken by
Paul Kingston.Here on the west bank of the flowing
River Conwy is the award winning, family run Tu Hwnt i’r Bont.
Built as a residential dwelling in 1480, it is actually considerably older than the Inigo Jones
bridge it stands beside. Some years later the building was used as
the Courthouse for the surrounding area. From here the most serious
offenders could have been taken to Tan y Craig in Llanrwst where they
could be hanged outside the old gaol!
