Not to be missed
Conwy Castle
One of the finest medieval fortifications in Britain, this castle was built for Edward I. Its eight massive towers and bow-shaped great hall are exceptional. It sits atop a narrow rocky outcrop, which offers breathtaking views and protects the structure and has made it virtually invincible over the years.
Smallest House in Great Britain
You may have thought a London home would have merited this accolade, but the smallest house in Great Britain is actually Quay House in Conwy. It was a residence from the 16th century for almost 300 years. One tenant was 6-foot-3 inch fisherman Robert Jones, who was unable to stand up inside and eventually forced to vacate when the council deemed the house unfit for human habitation.
Conwy Quay
This bustling marina is one of North Wales's most thriving. Set amid boats bobbing in the harbour, the quay is the perfect place from which to gaze up at Conwy Castle. Although the Mussel Centre nearby tells you everything you might need to know about harvesting the tasty seafood, be sure to venture beyond the quay to sample the best that the local restaurants have to offer.
Conwy Town Walls
This incredible medieval structure was built almost one thousand years ago and is still standing strong. It was designed as part of an integrated defence system, together with the castle and three gatehouses. Although it received minor damages in some medieval skirmishes, the wall is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Conwy Suspension Bridge
A National Trust site, the Conwy Suspension Bridge is another treasure of the area. At the visitor centre, you can learn about how trade and travel changed Conwy and transformed it into a thriving commercial centre.
