Aberconwy House

Aberconwy House is a fine and rare example of a timbered stone built merchant’s dwelling, its different rooms depict different eras of the house’s past.

Just down the road is Plas Mawr or “Great Mansion”, built in 1576. Recently superbly restored and award winning it is now in the care of CADW.

Conceived and created in just four years, Conwy Castle remains one of the outstanding achievements of medieval military architecture. Constructed in 1283 by Edward I it is one of the key fortresses in his ‘Iron Ring’ of castles. Conwy is one of the finest remaining medieval walled towns in Britain today.

The Royal Cambrian Academy brings Welsh Art to Conwy. It draws its members from both North and South Wales. The Academy holds 9 exhibitions a year so there is plenty to see and enjoy. The Gallery is located in the centre of Conwy just off the High Street, a short walk up Crown Lane More information >>

A visit to Conwy would not be complete without a visit to ‘The smallest House in Britain’!

Built originally as a fisherman’s cottage, its last occupant was 6’ 3” but amazingly it measures 9’ 9” high by just 6’ wide!

With a wealth of attractions that span the ages, events galore, a wide choice of accommodation, shopping and eating, historic Conwy is the perfect destination to visit.

The first glimpse of Conwy will reveal the majestic ramparts of the Castle, its origins and history tell an important part of the fascinating story of the town itself. The walls retain three of the original gateways and make an ideal spot to view the quay and attractive harbour beneath.

St. Mary’s Church stands on the site of a Cistercian Abbey dating back to 1185 built by Llewelyn ap Iorwerth, whose statue stands in Lancaster Square.

In the churchyard is a tombstone with the epitaph “We are seven” which is said to be the inspiration for the Wordsworth poem.
