Conwy is a small walled town on the coast in North Wales. It is on the UNESCO World Heritage List and a perfect base for exploring everything North Wales has to offer. The gateway to Snowdonia and easy access to the Island of Anglesey, the Victorian seaside town of Llandudno and the timeless Llyn Peninsula.

  • Conwy castle. M-Sa 10AM-4PM, Su 11AM-4PM, extended hours in Spring/Summer/Autumn. Built by Edward I in 1289, it is smaller than Beaumaris Wikivoyage Icon or Caernarfon Wikivoyage Icon castles, but it has a lot of charm. It sits at the mouth of a tidal inlet, and the views of the sea on one side and gently rolling green hills on the other are lovely. Offers joint ticket with Plas Mawr. Tours are 1 hour long and cost £1. £6.75/adult £20.25/family £5.10/concession. Wikipedia Icon
