Trefriw is located in the Conwy Valley, Conwy County, North Wales. The village sits between the towns of Dolgarrog to the north and Betws-y-Coed to the south. It is an excellent starting point for walks in the Conwy Valley and the foothills of Snowdonia. There is an information board in the centre of the village that displays several of the walks, including the Llyn Crafnant lake walk and the Llyn Geirionydd lake walk.
Trefriw is also popular with tourists who visit the Trefriw Woollen Mill and the Trefriw Wells Spa, indeed it's popularity goes back to Roman times when it is believed soldiers of the XXth legion discovered the caves from whence flows the spa mineral water.
