Conway

Conwy, which was formerly known in the English form of Conway, is a walled market town in Conwy County Borough. It is attractively situated on the north coast of Wales, across the River Conwy from Deganwy across and is a popular tourist destination on the north Wales coast, with a large number of attractions in the local area and a wealth of history and beauty to be enjoyed. The town is best known for Conwy Castle and for the town walls, which were both built in the 13th century on the instruction of Edward I of England as part of his conquest of Wales. Aberconwy Abbey was also founded here by Llywelyn the Great before being moved by Edward to Maenan. Parts of the original priory can still be seen.

The 14th century Aberconwy House is another very popular tourist attraction owned by The National Trust, as is the Elizabethan Plas Mawr, which is open to the public and has been extensively restored to reflect its original design and furnishings. The Smallest House in Great Britain is located on Conwy's quay and can be viewed for a small charge, while Bodysgallen Hall is also nearby. The Conwy Suspension Bridge, which was designed by Thomas Telford, and the toll-keeper's house are also in the care of the National Trust.
