OVERVIEW

Conwy stands beside an estuary in north Wales, enclosed by some of the best-preserved medieval town walls in Britain. A large thirteenth-century castle dominates the river crossing, while narrow streets contain stone houses, small shops and historic buildings. Mountains rise nearby, giving the town a strong relationship with the wider landscape.

The walls provide an easy elevated circuit above the rooftops, and the castle offers broad estuary views. The centre is small and busy during the day, but evening walks reveal a quieter residential side. Nearby coast and mountains add substantial options without reducing the town to a brief historical stop.
