Nestled on the edge of Snowdonia is perhaps one of the most famous tea rooms in North Wales. Tu Hwnt i’r Bont is a chocolate-box cottage with tiny white wooden windows peeking out through a covering of Virginia creeper.
The building is so well covered with vine leaves that it almost blends in with the trees surrounding it, giving it the ultimate fairy-tale feel. It’s a popular place to visit throughout the year, but in autumn it’s transformed as the leaves turn a vivid ruby-red.
There’s only a short window of time when you catch this colourful display, though, and it can be hard to predict precisely when the leaves will change colour. If you get your visit timed just right you’ll be rewarded with a picture-postcard scene.
