The school serves the community of Llanrwst and the many surrounding villages including the rural districts of Betws-y-Coed, Dolgarrog and Cerrigydrudion.

In 1960 it was renamed Ysgol Dyffryn Conwy (Conwy Valley School) to reflect the fact that the school served the wider Conwy Valley. In February 2005 the pupils were all moved to the Sodexo-owned site on Nebo Road.

St Mary's Church, Llanrwst, was located in Betws Road, Llanrwst, Conwy, Wales. It had been built in 1841–42, and was designed by Henry Kennedy. Intended for the use of English residents and visitors to the region, in 1874–75 the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin tripled the size of the chancel, extending it towards the east, and reseated the church at a cost of £925 (equivalent to £93,000 in 2021). This cost included stained glass by Ward and Hughes in two of the chancel windows. The church was later demolished and its stone altar moved into the north aisle of St Grwst's Church elsewhere in the town. Only fragments of the church walls have survived.

Nant Conwy was a rural district in the administrative county of Caernarfonshire from 1934 to 1974. The district was formed by a County Review Order, combining the areas of Geirionydd Rural District with most of Conwy Rural District and part of Ogwen Rural District.
