Traffic and Poor (money wise)
In a nutshell
One of my favourite places!!!
antistar Says: The castle protected the small market town of Conwy, and the town obviously has a history as long as the castle itself. That means you should definitely not overlook it. It's a classic English country town, with tight winding lanes, and houses crammed inside the old medieval...
antistar Says: Conway might be a very small town, but it has not one, not two but three bridges linking it with Llandudno. Two of them are also of great historic value. The railway bridge was built by Robert Stephenson in 1849 and was the first tubular bridge ever built. The suspension...
antistar Says: It's a bit of a tourist trap, but it does genuinely hold the Guinness Record for being the smallest house in Britain. The "house" looks more like an extension that has been painted red to distinguish it from the rest of the building, but it's worth a look if only for the...
antistar Says: A great way to get a view of the castle, and the town itself, is to walk the city walls. It gives great views of the town and castle, but also allows you to peek into the bedrooms and kitchens of every local in the town. Whether you think that is a good thing or bad probably...
antistar Says: The estuary is the final stage of the short River Conwy, which rises in the moors of North Wales, some 25 miles further inland. At Conwy the estuary is crossed by three magnificent bridges, strewn with pearls of white sailing boats, and overseen by the fatherly castle.The...
antistar Says: Although the Welsh had no siege engines, Conwy Castle was once captured, but more through cunning than clout. Rhys and Gwilym, cousins of Owain Glyndwr, hero of the Welsh and last native Prince of Wales, led a group of just 40 men to attack Conwy Castle. A Welsh Carpenter,...
Balam Says: The River Conwy is from source to where it discharge's into Conwy Bay slightly over 27 miles (43 km) longThe river starts up on the Migneint moor where small streams flow into Llyn Conwy the river flows in a northernly direction and is joined by the tributaries of the Rivers...
Balam Says: Conwy Castle is certainly one of the most impressive castles in Wales and is my favorite, overlooking the Conwy estuary it's 8 towers soar above what is one of the finest examples of medieval walled towns in Europe. Both the castle and it's adjacent town walls were built for...

Myfanwe Says: I haven't in fact eaten here but the lovely aroma's coming from this Indian Restaurant deserve a mention. It looks lovely from the outside & I will definitely be paying this place a visit on my next visit to Conwy so watch this space.
The Galleon: Fabulous fish & Chips
Myfanwe Says: This is a great Fish and Chip Shop, they are a little more expensive than others in Conwy but well worth the money, by far the best Fish and Chips I have had in a long time. We took ours away and sat by the sea front to eat them but there is some indoor seating available if...
The Albion: A nice friendly pub
Balam Says: This is a nice friendly pub with a games room, a large tap room lounge and a Beer garden at the rear. The last time I went in was on a Tuesday (late afternoon) and it was quiet with only us in, but I have been in a couple of years ago on a Saturday night and it was packed....
Balam Says: This is a small tired and worn looking pub, they do food during the day stopping in the afternoon. Despite it's name their are not really any noticable period features in the interior which i found quite dissapointing. we called in for a drink after walking around the town...
antistar Says: Conwy is a short bus ride from Llandudno. You can take the 5, 9 and their X varieties from Llandudno and be there in about 20 minutes. A return costs about 3-4 pounds. You can also get the train, although you'll probably have to change at Llandudno Junction. It will still...
Myfanwe Says: As long as the weather is fine, there is a lovely little open top bus tour, run by the Citysightseeing Company, which will take you from Conwy to Llandudno past oodles of tourist attractions such as the Great Orme tramway in Llandudno and Llandudno Museum. It will also give...
National Trust Shop: bugalugs's Shopping Tip
bugalugs Says: If you visit Aberconwy House which is owned by the National Trust, there is also a shop. My husband was browsing through the books and decided to buy one on potatoes!!!! What on earth for I asked, he said there was so many recipes using potatoes! Well he bought the book and...
The Knight Shop: Knight in shining armour
Myfanwe Says: The Knight Shop in the Centre of Conwy is a fascinating shop selling all sorts of replica swords, armour, sheilds and associated gifts. It's not your average high street shop, I enjoyed taking a look around & was very impressed with their collection of swords - King Arthur's...
Balam Says: Many customs have survived in Wales one being the giving of Love spoons by the men of Wales. This custom dates back to the 17th century. Traditionally the spoons were carved by the common man who maybe lacking in a formal education were skilled in many arts and crafts, many...
apexblue Says: The quayside area is a restricted parking zone, no yellow lines, just signs either end of the quayside entry and not very clear - avoid at all costs as parking attendants will swoop faster than the seagulls!
uglyscot Says: The carpark at the castle costs £1 for one hour; £1.50 for two hours , £2 for 3 hours.But since Conwy is so small it would be wiser to park your car behind the castle. There are steps and a ramp leading down, then turn right into the painted tunnel Another car park is there...
Arawn Says: Sit in the tiny cottage, hearing the local people speaking in Welsh, enjoying the soup, the tea and the cakes. If you are planning a wedding - have a look at the wares next door! Then have a drive, a walk or a cycle up onto the moors above the village. Open Saturday only.

Conwy is a walled city with a castle built on rock. The wall encloses the city and has 21 towers ,I think. As a result Conwy is small enough to walk around and see the attractions. Looking at the map...
