Camping at The Crown Inn - Glyn Myfyr - Nr Corwen

If you want nice walks, babbling water the comfort of a campfire to while away your evening then try visiting the Crown Inn at Corwen. This traditional pub has been serving local welsh ales since the 1700s a popular meeting point for landsmen and farmers alike over the centuries has now opened its doors and arms to campers and day trippers descovering the beauty of the Conwy Valley.

The community is friendly and proud of it heritage and in the you will hear the chatter of Welsh and English together as here deep in the Conwy Valley Welsh is the first language, farmers and auctioneers deal and sell their produce as they have done for hundreds of years in their mother tongue. Then as quick as you like switch over to English to ask a visitor where they are from and how are they enjoying their stay "friendly" is an understated description they are exceptional.

The food is excellent and priced accordingly and although its nice to camp and escape the grind of the kitchen its also nice to be pampered too by some of tempting menu options available in the Crown. Here are some of my choices during my stay:

Full English/Welsh Breakfast!
