Tŷ Hyll (The Ugly House) Tearoom

Highlight • Cafe

Despite being rather beautiful, the Ugly House, or Tŷ Hyll in Welsh, is a curious building indeed. Home to an atmospheric tearoom, it is surrounded by five acres (2 ha) of ancient woodland and offers well-maintained footpaths to explore the wild flowers, nesting birds and abundant wildlife nearby. Interestingly, though, nobody knows for sure who built it or when. For more information and opening times, visit: visitllandudno.org.uk/things-to-do/ty-hyll-the-ugly-house-p284731
