Betws-y-coed: postbox № LL24 67, Rhyd-y-creuau This small postbox is in a lay-by on the A470, one of those lay-bys which was probably the original course of the road which has subsequently been straightened. The scene behind is of a large pile of logs which await removal; I drove along here the following day and much of the pile had been removed.
