Old Colwyn has an area of [[woodland]] called the 'Fairy Glen'. This area of woodland is said to contain many different spirits including [[fairy|fairies]], hence its name, which dates from the [[Victorian era]] and is a common name from that period (e.g. the "Fairy Glen" in [[Penmaenmawr]]). This area has recently undergone a regeneration with funding from the council and it is now possible to walk through it easily. The Fairy Glen is subject to an ownership dispute between [[Conwy County Borough Council]] and the water company, [[Dŵr Cymru]], each claiming that the maintenance of the area is the responsibility of the other.{{citation needed|date=April 2013}}

Old Colwyn was once overlooked by the Hotel 70 Degrees, (just above Tan-y-Lan) so named because the architect who designed it used 70 degree angles in its construction.<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/northwest/sites/colwyn/pages/hotel70.shtml BBC News - Hotel 70 Degrees]</ref> Built in 1972, it was demolished in 2007, to be replaced by a housing development. It also has easy access onto the promenade and beach, as well as a protruded cliff area known as Penmaenhead, marked by a disused stone utility house. This is a popular spot amongst teenagers for the dangerous practice of "[[cliff jumping]]" when tide is in and the water is deep enough, though to date nobody has been hurt.{{citation needed|date=April 2013}}
