Faced with the ever-increasing cost of meeting our Parish Share, and in the knowledge that from 2009 the subsidy from the Church in Wales would disappear, the Benefice found a novel solution.

St Mary's Church is located in the centre of Betws-y-Coed and had a flat(ish) piece of land in the church grounds. Betws-y-Coed is short of parking spaces - so we built a 43 space car park!

It opened in 2005 and provides us with a useful source of income. 

If you are visiting Betws-y-Coed by car, please use the car park and support the work of the parish.

Parking charges are:

Up to 2 hours - £1.00

Up to 3 hours - £1.50

Up to 4 hours - £2.00

Building the car park in 2005.

Our late Bishop Tony Crockett blesses the car park. The steel cross came from the local Roman Catholic church which had recently closed.
