Introducing Conwy
Conwy feels a bit like old Wales: it’s all lovespoons and teashops. Conwy Castle, a Unesco-designated cultural treasure, is an essential part of Welsh heritage and the 0.8 mile-stroll around the castle walls gives an evocative insight into the era of Edward I, when the monarch planted an iron ring of fortifications around the coast to keep the Welsh in order.

The town itself, however, feels rather stuck in the past, with the castle the main attraction and an eerie quiet after the day-trippers head home in the late afternoon. Conwy remains the most complete walled town and castle in Britain, so come for the day but consider making your base elsewhere, notably nearby Llandudno.
At the time of writing, extensive redevelopment of the harbour area was set to continue long term, bringing chaos and disruption to the run-down waterfront.
