Place near Llanrwst

[chinakay]

Hello everyone...apparently one of my families (Jones, can you believe it? ) spent a great deal of time living at Ty Brith Uchaf, or Tybrith Uchaf, near Capel Garmon. They had in 1840 a son Humphrey, who evidently died in 1849, and noted in the PR entry as his place of abode is "Bancog". The handwriting is very precise.

Well, I have tried everything, and I can't find these places

Tybrith was a township, and Bancog a road. There are modern references to both, mostly real estate and house prices. But no maps.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Before I am driven to drink?
Cheers,
China

Oh brills, Gadget, thank you very much indeed. I did try Streetmap, no result

I have been to the Fairy Glen. I'd forgotten all about that. And Swallow Falls just up the road toward Capel Curig. Man...I need to get back there...

Thanks again Gadget.

Cheers,

We used to go through there on school trips on the way to Anglesey  - Swallow Falls was the first stop - we would all run down to the falls and get wet.

Those maps bring back (mostly) happy memories
