About Conwy, Wales

An adaptation of another welsh town, Conwy has a relatively short history. It was born in the early 13th century, upon orders from King Edward to build a vantage point in the north of Wales. Its inaccessibility made it the perfect acquisition, and the Monarch’s troops quickly removed those stationed at Aberconwy Abbey (which stood there previously). They were then instructed to set about work on a fearsome castle and a sturdy town wall, which stood tall in the surrounding scenery marking Conwy as an impenetrable force during the middle ages.

These days the castle is purely used for observation qualities. Fantastic restoration work has made it extremely popular with travelling tourists, who always take a chance to grab a look when they are in town. Tours are led daily, by both Welsh and English speaking guides, which start at £4.50 per person.


Conwy

The Smallest House in Great Britain can be found on the quay in Conwy. It is in the Guinness Book of Records with dimensions of 3.05 metres x 1.8 metres. It was lived in since the 1500s (it was even inhabited by a family at one point !) and lived in until 1900 when the owner a (6ft fisherman – Robert Jones) was forced to move out on the grounds of hygiene. The rooms were too small for him to stand up in fully. The house is still owned by his descendants today.
