Some pictures I have taken with my digital camera around Colwyn Bay and Rhos on Sea.

They have been taken by myself while out running, and consequently are within just a few miles of the Hotel.

The Holy Well and Chapel of the 6th Century St. Trillo.

The ancient Chapel on the site of the Holy Well of the 6th Century St.Trillo.

A service is held in the Chapel each week. The Chapel is situated on the sea front at Rhos Point, Rhos on Sea , about 1 and 1/2 mile from Hotel.

The well is positioned below the altar.

Llys Euryn.

Just one mile from the Hotel, on the slopes of Bryn Euryn, are the ruins of Llys Euryn. (shown below)

This is the site of Ednyfed Fychan's court or manor house. Ednyfed was the seneschal to Llywelyn the Great, who in a charter of 1230 sanctioned the purchase of the land between Bryn Euryn and the sea shore known as Rhos Fynach.

When King Henry the V11, Henry Tudor, ascended the throne his heralds traced his ancestry to Ednyfed whose 'chiefest house was in Creuddyn'.

The importance of the site is now being recognised and indeed in 1998 much work has been done to tidy the site, and protect the ruins from further deterioration.

On Bryn Euryn itself are the remains of an ancient Hill Fort which it has been claimed is the 'bear's stronghold', the fortress of Cuneglasus a 6th century tyrant.
