Explore Conwy Beaches and Coastline

Conwy is a town as well as a county in Wales and it's a really lovely spot.

Conwy County provides a perfect location for holidays long and short and the walled town of Conwy, with its dramatic castle and peaceful quay has the mountains to set it off and endless countryside to explore.

Here you'll find treasures like Victorian Llandudno, majestic Snowdonia with mountains to climb, village festivals, great shopping, art and craft galleries, castles, miles of sandy beaches and unspoilt walking paths.

Here the towns have unpronounceable names like Betws-y-Coed and Blaenau Ffestiniog but you'll want to visit them all and have tea and browse as they have a unique history and quaintness that isn't found in other English villages.
