Diwylliant Conwy Culture

Just a stone's throw from Conwy's magnificent medieval town walls, the centre contains the county archive, an area library, heritage exhibitions, a community arts hub, meeting room, and café. It's a great starting point to explore the rich story of Conwy County. The exhibitions on display take visitors through five thousand years of history complete with unique objects and artworks.

Lovely fresh space that makes local history engaging. My 8year old daughter & I spent time exploring the interactive & static historical interpretations. Look for the ones on the book shelves! We also spent time reading on the sofa. Looking forward to the opening of the archives next month. Now the lovely café has opened the whole building is buzzing and we met lots of people.

Conwy Castle

Advance booking required Built in the late 13th century and reputed to be haunted by a past resident, this picturesque castle was built for King Edward I and is a perfect example of the "concentric castle" design. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.

An amazing 800 year old castle. The more you know about the history of North Wales and the Celts, the more you will appreciate the role this castle played in Welsh history (British/Welsh history 101 : Celts invaded by Romans, Invaded by Vikings, Saxons, Angles etc. Invaded by the French Norman’s etc etc. Each invasion pushed the Celts back into the mountains reducing their lands) Try and visit in dry weather as the stone steps up the towers can be a bit slippery. One tip - last weekend of September there is free admission!!!

Conwy Mussels Co.

Reviewed By carsski - North Wales, United Kingdom

These mussels are the best I've ever eaten! They are big, juicy and tasty. At £6 for 2kg they're good value too. I cooked them with bacon, white wine, garlic, parsley and double cream. Delicious!

Aberconwy House

Reviewed By judithfH9610KW

Great 600 years+ of history in this small building, brought to life by a very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable guide called Holly. It doesn't take long to walk around the 2 floors above the shop, approx 40 mins. There are obviously 2 flights of stairs to negotiate if you have any disabilities. Holly also recommended a local cafe called The Old Bookshop which was really lovely.
