Description

Betws Lodge is a long building facing the road, featuring a central chamfered four-centred carriage arch flanked by two buttresses that offset twice. Between these buttresses is an outset parapet on stone brackets that simulates machicolations, which is lower in height at the center. The parapet outside the buttresses deepens significantly, with the outsetting brackets positioned low, and the wall extends to resemble quasi-end towers, where the offsetting parapet returns to its original height. Each side of the intermediate section has sturdy raking buttresses at the midpoint.

Local climate

Betws Lodge sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,010 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 81% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 59% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 66% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
