Wheelchair-accessible taxis in Betws-y-Coed

Book a wheelchair-accessible vehicle (WAV) ahead. There is no taxi rank and no walk-up cab office, so spontaneous WAV availability does not exist at the station or Pont-y-Pair.

Confirm drop points that avoid the steepest A5 kerbs if you are staying on the upper side of the village.
