Must See Wales - Conwy

Picturesquely dominated by its classic castle, Conwy is one of the best European examples of a medieval walled town. Conwy Castle has eight massive crenellated towers, its shape largely dictated by its rock-bound foundations. The best view is from across the River Conwy, with the Snowdonia Mountains providing a dramatic backdrop.

Three-quarters of a mile of the town's walls remain intact, topped off with 22 towers and three original gateways. The Smallest House in Britain, the 14th-century, timber-and-plaster Aberconwy House and Bodnant Garden, round off Conwy's collection of sights.
