Conwy: Gateway to North Wales

by Tom_Fields - last update: Mar 12, 2008

North Wales is less developed, and generally less of a tourist destination than is South Wales. And Conwy is one of the best-preserved medieval walled towns in all of Europe. Like York and Chester, it still has its original walls. Tourism being rather limited, it remains a small, rather quaint fishing town. It appears very little changed over the centuries. Coming here, one feels transported back to another time.

Within the walls stands the medieval Conwy Castle. Rather small, it is nonetheless in near-perfect condition, with nearly intact defences.
