What a Conwy Holiday Can Offer

Conwy is a small market town in North Wales with many attractions for old and young alike. With great public transport links and the amazing countryside on its doorstep, the location is perfect for those looking for a holiday with access to activities. In addition, the town offers a range of nightlife, restaurants and history.
The name 'Conwy' derives from the old Welsh words 'cyn' (chief) and 'gwy' (water), the river being originally called the 'Cynwy' but now called the River Conwy. It is a popular tourist destination and its ancient castle and walled town (built between 1283 and 1289) circles a vibrant array of shops, places to eat and a number of traditional pubs.
The walls are accessible and you can walk around most of the town on the walls. As well as seaside seagulls, the walls are home to Jackdaws, which is also the nickname given to people who were born within the walls.
The town has a suspension bridge built by Thomas Telford in 1822 to replace the ferry across the River Conwy. The river also forms the tidal estuary that enables fishing boats to come into the Conwy harbour. This is also where The Smallest House in Great Britain is, which was originally occupied by fisherman Robert Jones until 1900.

The Town Wall Upper Gate is the entrance to the largest section of town wall and is at the top of Upper Gate Street, only 100 yards away from our cottage.  Steps lead up to the wall (where there are great views over the town to the castle and in the distance, the Snowdonia national park mountains), and you can continue walking all the way down to the quay.
