Conwy County Borough lies on the north coast of Wales, a local authority area that takes in the medieval walled town of Conwy and the stretch of Welsh coastline around it. It is a place that suits a visitor who wants both history and the open shore in one trip.
What to see
The walled town of Conwy is the heart of the area. Its medieval walls and the town's old streets give a clear sense of how the place was built and why it was defended. Walking the old town is the simplest way to take in its character, and it sits within easy reach of the wider county borough.
Beyond the town
- The coast along the county borough, where the sea and the Welsh shoreline define the landscape.
- The surrounding villages and countryside, which offer a slower pace than the town centre.
- The wider north Wales region, which can be explored as a base from the county borough.
Planning a visit
Conwy County Borough works well as a destination for a day or several days. Visitors who enjoy walking the old town, spending time by the coast and seeing rural Welsh scenery will find it a good fit. Because the area covers both a historic town and a long stretch of coast, it can be shaped around whichever of those interests matters most to you.
