Conwy is known for its magnificent medieval castle built by Edard 1 in the late 13th Century. The town walls were built at the same time and it is still possible to walk along part of them. Conwy has several interesting old buildings, including Plas Mawr and Aberconwy House. There is a marina and boat trips are available in the summer months.
