Conwy is a fortified town of exceptional beauty in North Wales, famous for its Conwy Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its impressive, perfectly preserved medieval walls that surround the historic centre. Situated on the banks of the estuary of the same name, Conwy is a focal point of Welsh history and an excellent starting point for exploring the coast and the nearby Snowdonia National Park. A stay here offers total immersion in the Middle Ages, combined with the wild beauty of the Welsh landscape.
