The Gwydyr Forest surrounds the Lledr Valley between Betws-y-Coed and Blaenau Ffestiniog. At the centre of Dolwyddelan is Elen's Castle Hotel, named after Dolwyddelan Castle on the outskirts of the village. Dating back to the early 18th Century, Elen's Castle Hotel was originally part of the Earl of Ancaster's Welsh estate. It was rented out for £2.12s.6d per year in 1874! In later years it became a village beer house and coaching inn. Today it still retains much of this original historic character as a very comfortable, privately-run family hotel.
