It was such a great hike to get there, the forest path and steps were not silent and stories were to be heard around every turn. The chapel is quite singular in my experience because of the paintings and the trek to get there. What a wonderful, enriching day it was. Don't forget to hang out in Llanrwst afterwards for a pint or a cupper. I love this place!

Worth noting that if you want to have a look inside you'll need to collect the key from the nearby castle.

. . A really stunning really place the paintings are beautiful. To view the Chapel you need to visit the castle to get the keys. The lock is difficult to open, but well worth the effort.

Unfortunately we weren't able to get the key but we will come back and hopefully will have more luck next time... Surrounding nature is outstanding... Beautiful place

This is a wonderful little building. The plain exterior gives no hint of the glories within. The 1673 fittings are all complete, with pulpit, lectern, seating round the sides, Royal Arms of Charles II, and an altar with three-sided 'Laudian' rails. But the finest thing is the painted ceiling, rustic but splendid. It shows the Adoration of the Trinity, with God the Father, the Christ symbol, and the dove of the Holy Spirit surrounded by adoring angels. It must be the most Catholic interior of a seventeenth century Anglican church; there's even a Sacred Heart.

The chapel is now open by appointment. It is free. You ring Gwydir Castle down the road to ask for the key. They need 24 hours notice.
