Dominating the town’s skyline, Conwy Castle is one of Wales’ most impressive medieval fortresses and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Climb the towers for spectacular views across the estuary, mountains and surrounding coastline, making it a must-visit attraction for history lovers and first-time visitors alike.

Encircling the town for almost a mile, Conwy’s remarkably well-preserved medieval walls offer a unique way to experience the town’s history. The elevated walk provides fantastic views over rooftops, the harbour and the castle itself. It is one of the finest examples of medieval town defences anywhere in Europe.

Nestled along the quayside, the famous Smallest House in Great Britain is one of Conwy’s most photographed landmarks. Measuring just 1.8 metres wide, the tiny red house offers a fascinating glimpse into life in Victorian Wales and is a quick stop that visitors of all ages enjoy.

Hidden amongst Conwy’s historic streets, Plas Mawr is considered one of the best-preserved Elizabethan townhouses in Britain. Beautifully restored rooms, original features and interactive displays bring its rich history to life. It’s a great option for a rainy day or for those wanting to delve deeper into the town’s past.

Just a short drive from Conwy, the Victorian seaside resort of Llandudno makes for an excellent day out. Stroll along the famous pier, ride the Great Orme Tramway or simply enjoy fish and chips by the sea. Its traditional charm makes it popular with families and couples alike.

Conwy sits on the doorstep of Eryri National Park, offering endless opportunities for walking, cycling and sightseeing. From gentle lakeside strolls to challenging mountain hikes, there’s something for every level of adventurer. The scenery alone makes it worth the trip.

Set in the beautiful Conwy Valley, Bodnant Garden is one of North Wales’ most celebrated gardens. Explore colourful terraces, woodland paths and sweeping views towards the Carneddau mountains. It is particularly stunning in spring and early summer.

Conwy’s location makes it an ideal base for exploring the North Wales coastline. Nearby beaches at Deganwy, Llandudno and Colwyn Bay offer sandy shores, scenic promenades and plenty of places to stop for refreshments. Whether you’re looking for a coastal walk or a family beach day, you’ll be spoilt for choice.
