The history of this magical land is as compelling as it is intriguing. An evocative mix of legend and reality, often told tales are supported by a legacy of castles, culture and a heritage dating back many thousands of years.

Famous for Edward 1's magnificent castle, it would be hard to imagine a setting with a more spectacular combination of heritage and idyllic scenery.

Built by King Edward to consolidate his control of the Conwy Valley, the castle and town walls are open to visitors. Conwy's Town Walls are amongst the finest in Europe, stretching for over 3/4 mile with 22 towers and 3 original gateways, and today make an ideal vantage point to take in breath taking views of the Conwy Estuary.

Telford's distinctive suspension bridge links Conwy to Deganwy and Llandudno Junction across the estuary and overlooks the colourful harbour - embarkation point for sea angling trips and river cruises.

The town centre itself with it's narrow streets and delightful shops, including art galleries and bookshops and small museums, is a world away from today's fast tacked modern shopping centres. There is a wide selection of cafes, restaurants, tea shops and pubs for relaxation with many attractions including the Marina, Conwy Caernarfonshire 18 hole golf course, gardens at Bodlondeb, Plas Mawr an Elizabethan manor situated in the high street.
