Its circuit of walls, over three quarters of a mile long and guarded by no less than 22 towers, is one of the finest in the World.

Having lived in north Wales for 10 years now, I thought it was about time I started writing opinions about the area. I wrote an opinion about North Wales in general many months ago but haven’t written one since. As its now Summer I thought now was as good a time as any! So, here I am. Why did I decide to write about Conwy? Do I live there? Well, nope, I live in Rhos on Sea which is about 5 miles away from Conwy.

Conwy, being an old walled town has its fair ...

I've always had a fascination with walled towns and Conwy has been a particular favourite of mine since childhood. I've come to appreciate it even more in recent years since the construction of a bypass eased the worst of the traffic congestion that had blighted the town for decades, and I'd recommend the town to anybody who appreciates a place that is determined to live its life at its own pace. If you're driving into the town and are expecting to breeze into a multi-storey facility where you can leave the car, forget it - parking in Conwy is very much a lottery and can be nigh on impossible during the peak weeks. There is ...
