Aberconwy House is technically speaking the oldest dateable house in Wales, and certainly the…read moreoldest surviving house in Conwy itself. The lower floors date from the 14th centuries, and the upper floors from the mid-16th century. During its long life, it has had many incarnations, including a mediaeval merchant's house, a coffee shop and Temperance Hotel. It was acquired by the National Trust in 1934. Different rooms are furnished in different styles and periods, and include a kitchen, parlour, drawing room, and hotel bedroom. There is a video presentation on the history of the house, and in the basement a National Trust shop.

I can only review what I have seen of the Quay which was on the Conwy Feast…read more Beautiful scenery, sky and the weather was gorgeous. We got into conwy on the train from Bangor ( Gwynedd ) . The day ticket for the festival was £8 and that included admittance into all the food and drink tents ( also DR.Zigs Bubble Dome ). The festival was extremely crowded and the quay not being the widest place in the world it was a bit touch and go with small children with the rivers edge. There was a guy with a TRIPLE pram now that really took the biscuit! Anyway its a brilliant place to just let the world go by and make you remember its not all about stress and everything around us!!

Llandudno has for some time attempted to cash in on it's slightly dubious Alice In Wonderland…read moreconnections. Alice Liddell, the inspiration for the character of Alice was known to holiday with her family at a house called Penmorfa on the West Shore. The house later became the Gogarth Abbey hotel. Charles Dodgson, aka Lewis Carroll, is rumoured to have visited Penmorfa although the evidence appears to suggest he didn't. The Alice links are now beginning to fade. The Gogarth Abbey was briefly renamed the Penmorfa but has since been demolished. The Alice museum in Trinity Square closed down when the owner retired and couldn't find anyone willing to take it on as a going concern. So if you're an Alice fan all that's left to see is the statue of the White Rabbit. And how disappointed will you be if you go out of your way to find it. The first thing you'll notice is how small it is. The rabbit is about the size of a real-life rabbit. As the statue has been the target of vandals in the past it's now protected by a steel cage and surrounded by a "moat". The cage obstructs your view and moat prevents you from getting a close up look (unless you've planned ahead and brought wellies). If you really want a look the statue is located just past the boating lake at the West Shore but it really needs to be relocated to a more appropriate location. Preferably one where you can get close enough to actually see it and where it can safely be locked away at night.

Llandudno's Camera Obscura, which is located on the lower slopes of the Great Orme, is one of the…read morelesser known attractions the town has to offer. It was built around 1860 and uses a series a mirrors to create panoramic views of the town below and surrounding scenery. It isn't always open, it's seasonal and weather permitting, and there is a small charge for entry when it is. However even it isn't open the views are spectacular enough with just the naked eye. If you look straight ahead you'll see the town of Llandudno spread out below you, look left and you'll see the North Shore and out to sea and look right and you'll look out over the West Shore and Conwy Estuary and down towards the foothills of Snowdonia. You'll need to be fairly active to reach the Obscura which is located close to the cable car station. Just head up through the Happy Valley and veer left at the top. A bit of effort but on a bright sunny day it's well worth the effort.

These beautiful town walls fully encompass the town of Conwy, as they have since the 1280's. Yep,…read morethey're old, they're historical, they're beautiful, and you can totally walk all over them. As mentioned, they circle the city, so if you'd like a unique view you can make a loop around (stopping when you have to enter the castle, of course), giving you remarkable views both within and without. Along the way there are some placards posted with information in assorted towers; other towers, however, have been completely left barren so you can get a feel for how the ruins look if that's more your feel. It was fun going inside these and imagining how they stood those hundreds of years ago; you can still see the remnants of what used to be fireplaces and divided floors. I feel it's an absolute must to explore the walls, taking the time to go around inside and out to realise the magnificence of them. Anyone visiting the city must walk the walls.

Many people will be familiar with the town of Conwy for it's historic castle. However, in addition…read moreto building the Castle, Edward I also ordered the construction of a fortified wall around the town as it was back then. The wall runs for about 3/4 mile in total and incorporates 21 turrents. Considering it was completed in 1286 it's remarkably well preserved. Although some sections are no longer accessible I would guess that around 1/2 mile of the total is open to the public. Unlike the castle there are no admission charges so it's well worth a look. Not surprisingly as the nanny state hadn't been thought of in the 1280's health and safety issues were not considered in the design. The steps up to the wall are quite steep and as the floor is made of stone it can become slippery if it rains. Therefore you really need to be fairly agile to visit. However if you can manage it you'll be rewarded with some specatular views of the town and the surrounding area. The best part is probably the highest point, alongside Mount Pleasant, where there's a turret that you can climb to the top of. Give it a go, it's free and if nothing else it's good exercise!

The Promenade stretches along the beach from the Pier to the Paddling pool in the east. Almost 1.5 miles in length. Most visitors flock around the Pier area. The further east you walk, the less people you will see. And it's a real nice thing to do, walking the Promenade. Even busy, the Pier is a good starting point. Grab some snacks, some ice cream and get on your way. There's countless benches along the Promenade - all with seaviews :) So it's a perfect spot to enjoy some snacks or a small picnic. The Promenade is very wide, so it doesn't feel crowded. Bikes, dog walkers...there's space for everybody. There is a carpark near the pier, but always full. Some spots along the Promenade, but they're hard to find. We parked just a block away from the Promenade at the Venue Cymru carpark and were really happy with it. Plenty of empty spots.
