Rhos Fynach Pub, Colwyn Bay
Rhos Fynach (literally meaning 'Monk's Marsh') is the oldest building in the area, built in 1181 AD. Now, after substantial rebuilding a few years ago, it is a pub and restaurant, but was originally a 12th century monastery with secret tunnels linking it to the nearby tiny, 6th century, Chapel of St Trillo. Rhos Fynach was the home to the monks who fished the weir off Rhos Point to provide the catch for the larger monastery in Conwy at the time.
