Conwy Travel Guide: 153 reviews and 590 photos

Conwy Castle was built for Edward I between 1283 and 1289. The town of Conwy is completely surrounded by the walls of the castle.

Wander along the town walls for great views of the castle and the town.

Three bridges

Conwy suspension bridge (in the centre) was designed and built by Thomas Telford (1757-1834) and was completed in 1826. It replaced the ferry, which was previously the only means of crossing the river.

Conwy Tubular Bridge (right side) was built by Robert Stephenson (1803-59) to carry the railway across the estuary - it was officially opened in 1849.

The road bridge (left side) was completed in 1958.
