Famous for its historical and architectural heritage, the town of Conwy has become a World Heritage Site. This bustling city offers visitors with a number of ancient festivals and fairs, musical recitals, galleries and historical attractions as well as a great selection of specialist shops, restaurants and hotels. Its 13th Century castle, built for King Edward I, is widely considered to be one of the most outstanding achievements of medieval military architecture. With two barbicans, eight massive towers and great bow-shaped hall, the property was constructed in a distinctive, elongated shape to better fit on the narrow rocky outcrop on which the castle stands. Close to the Snowdonia National Park, this lovely town also offers a wide range of walking and cycling opportunities. This, in addition to the town’s proximity to the Welsh coast, makes it an incredibly diverse place for a family break.
