The Town

Conwy originates from the 13th century, when Edward I built a castle there. It took four years and 1,500 men to build, and has been the subject of many sieges.
Conwy also boasts the smallest house in Britain, where once a man of 6ft 3in lived!
Sitting on the mouth of the River Conwy, it has a very picturesque harbour, with a quay which was built in 1833 and used to export slate. With some characterful shops, and architecturally stunning buildings, this town has everything.

First Walk
Wheelchair friendly
South Conwy to Castle

From the south side of ancient Conwy you walk to the foot of the town walls, in the presence of its looming castle. Past a church with beautiful statues, exit the town walls, then return to its historic centre. After catching a glimpse of some delightful gardens you’ll tumble out into a bustling harbour - people, boats, seagulls and sea – what a fantastic scene, before finishing your walk at the foot of the castle (1.25 miles).
Second Walk
Wheelchair friendly
Castle to Conwy Bridge

Starting at Conwy’s magnificent castle, you’ll pass its ancient guildhall, before circling a 12th century church, burial place for many a Welsh Prince. Walk down the High Street next, with its character shops and old world buildings. Back now towards the castle before descending to the pretty harbour and a final walk along the river bridge with its stunning views of the castle and the Irish Sea in the distance (1.25 miles).
