Sights and Activities

  • The town is enclosed within the castle walls of an 11th century Edward 1 castle, built to keep out the marading Welsh!

The castle is magnificently picturescue and is in excellent condition and a visit will take you back to "Knights of old".

  • Down at the small harbour the catch of the day can be viewed and harbour boat trips can be taken.
  • Inside the walls are many gift shops selling Welsh produce - including Welsh Gold and Welsh Tea shops, don't forget to try the Bara Brith or Welsh cakes.
  • There are two original merchants' houses left in the town and both are well worth a visit. They are haunted so watch out for that spooky experience!
  • Outside the town is a large modern marina, there are plenty of guesthouses and small hotels in the town. Conwy is easy to get to with a train station and bus services to the town.

Post

The Royal Mail provides postal services in the United Kingdom. The Royal Mail's store fronts are called Post Office and offer services ranging from sending letters and packages to foreign currency exchange. Use the branch locator to find the nearest Post Office branch. An alternative includes TNT Post.
It's common for a post office to be incorporated into a grocery store, where there will be a small counter located at the back of the store for dealing with post related matters. All post offices are marked with signs that say 'post office' in red lettering. Post boxes can be found at any post office and standalone large red post boxes on the streets or red boxes in the sides of public buildings.
