Betws-y-Coed and Trefriw (Welsh : Betws-y-Coed a Threfriw) is an electoral ward in the southwest of Conwy County Borough, Wales. It was created following a ward boundary review, effective from the 2022 Conwy County Borough Council election, by the merger of the former Betws-y-Coed ward and part of the Trefriw ward. [1] Betws-y-Coed covered its namesake community of Betws-y-Coed, as well as the neighbouring communities of Dolwyddelan and Capel Curig. [2] Subsequently the community of Trefriw has been added to create the latest ward.
