- Welcome to sunny North Wales as we explore the historic town of Conwy and Conwy Castle which also features the smallest house in the UK!
We come to the amazing walled town of Conwy with the famous Conwy Castle looking down over the town, and with it's fantastic little streets and riverside. North Wales is stunning and Conwy is a fantastic place to come and explore, especially in the sunshine!
We visit Conwy on one of the hottest days of the year with blue skies, blazing sunshine and a spring in our step as we walk from Conwy Castle down to the smallest house in the UK and then up through the town walls and into the high street and castle street of Conwy Town Centre.
Tourists flock from far and wide to visit Conwy and it's easy to see why with it's town walls surrounding a medieval historic town with it's narrow streets, great shops and cafe's, the historic castle hotel and lots more.
Conwy Castle Walls are worth a visit. If you've got a head for heights, you can take a walk along the top of the wall as it loops around Conwy's cramped medieval streets.
Conwy Castle takes its place alongside Edward’s other great castles at Beaumaris, Harlech and Caernarfon as a World Heritage Site.
We also pay a visit to the National Trust's Aberconwy House. Built in the 14th century, Aberconwy House is the only surviving medieval merchant's house in Conwy. It consists of two lower floors of stone which support a half-timbered upper storey that jetties out over the street.
Conwy, previously known in English as Conway, is a walled market town and community in Conwy County Borough on the northern coast of Wales. The town, which faces Deganwy across the River Conwy, formerly lay in Gwynedd and prior to that in Caernarfonshire.
Hugging the north coast of Wales, Conwy is a compelling choice for holiday makers in UK. A closer proximity to Snowdonia National Park gives Conwy an advantage as a perfect base to explore the region - be it Snowdonia, coast, or Isle of Anglesey.

Conwy is beautiful ❤️
Agreed!
This is such a beautiful part of Wales. The Conwy Castle sure was built to last. Just stunning! Thank you for letting us walk with you :) x
What a beautiful place, came on here to comment because we watch it on TV and aren't signed in. We are loving the gentle music lately too.
Thank you so much - I really do appreciate that a lot!
Don't worry too much about doing anything if you're watching on TV by the way - just enjoy!
Thank you for this wonderful “walk” around Conwy. My maiden name is Conway and I dream of seeing it one day. Looks lovely and quaint. ❤️
We were there last summer. Such a lovely town. But then again, anywhere in Wales is wonderful. Going back this year.
Such a beautiful place
Thank you Neil for another brilliant video. Love Conwy, Llandudno, in fact all of lovely Wales.👍😁🚶♂️
Thank you 🙏
CONWY
Conwy is probably the best-preserved medieval fortified town in Britain. The frowning bulk of Edward's great castle, dominating the bridges across the Conwy estuary, makes an unforgettable composition.
There are three bridges: Telford's elegant suspension bridge, now used by pedestrians, Robert Stephenson's tubular railway bridge, and the graceful modern road bridge.
Conwy Castle was started by Edward I in 1283, as were Caernarfon and Harlech, but it was here that Edward established his headquarters during his campaigns against the Welsh Prince Llewelyn, and he was himself besieged here by the Welsh in 1290.
The siting of this fortress upon a narrow ledge of rock was dictated by its unusual shape. It was completed in under 5 years at a cost of £15,000 which at today's values would be about £4,500,000 making it by far the most expensive of Edward's castles.
On Conwy's quayside is what is said to be the smallest house in Britain, measuring just 6 ft. across and 10 ft. 2 in. to the top of its upper storey.
Superb info thank you so much!
Thanks for your great video, could watch all over again!
Isolated at the moment with covid feeling a bit under the weather and your video has certainly cheered me up.
Keep up the good work, love your video's 🤗 xx
Sorry to hear that you're not well Margaret
Plenty of rest, paracetomol and lots and lots of water!
Beautiful day, in beautiful Conwy. I love the place. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it - thank you so much for watching!
Loved this walk especially the castle and the tiny house. I’m enjoying this mini series of Wales keep on walking and thank w🚶🏻👍❤️
More to come!
I love Conwy 😍
Stunning :)
Thanks yet again for infighting more memories,
We visited Conwy for the only time 50 years ago almost to the day.
I was a passenger in a nasty car crash in 1970 and if seat belts had been compulsory would have been killed as the passenger side was totally destroyed, I was ejected through the windscreen and spent 7 months in hospital as a result.
I tried to get dates with some of the nurses but they weren’t interested but one did get me a date with a woman from the hospital reception / records department.
After one date she passed on a rematch but wrote to me later to set up a date with a colleague, we met and went to the see a film, Get Carter.
This was a bit near the knuckle in 1971 and when we went for a drink afterwards she told me she was a Methodist Sunday school teacher and I thought that was it.
I asked if we could meet again and to my relief she said yes, it really was love at first sight for me, we were engaged in 3 months and set the wedding date 12 months later.
Back to Conwy, we had put a deposit on a house being built in the village where I lived and were choosing household things including a cooker from the local gas showroom.
They dithered re delivery for our September wedding so when we had a trip to Conwy and saw the same cooker in the their gas showroom enquired if they could deliver it to Kirkheaton, they said they could and after cooking on a Gaz single stove for a couple of weeks after we moved into our new home it was delivered and fitted.
We are still in the same house where we brought up 3 wonderful sons and in September celebrate our Golden Wedding.
What a lovely story, congrats on your anniversary 💟

Thank you for your best wishes.
My own country gives me eyegasms and I've explored less than 50% of it. I have to step off my own doorstep a lot more. Tenby is my go-to place, but your videos of Wales definitely give me the motivation for change next summer, I had to subscribe.😍
I live here in conwy and tenby is my go to place every year i think its cos its so like here so feels like im going from home to home xx
Thank you for such an interesting walk round Conwy. We visited twice, it by train, so missed a bit of the town you show in this video. The castle is impressive and I found Plas Mawr a fascinating building. Add the estuary and other points of interest and there is plenty to draw you back to lovely Wales. And you chose such a beautiful day!
Fell lucky with the weather and glad I did as had a really nice time
What a lovely walk, it’s a place I always love to visit, I’m loving these Wales videos.
Many thanks
one of our favourite days out

Beautiful place !
It is!
çok teşekkür guzel yerler cekmısınız galler de bir sahıl kasabası herhalde izledim aboneyım zaten turkiyeden sevgıler😀😀😀
Being a tad generous on £4800 a month on the smallest house in Britain if it was located in London 🤣🤣🤣.
I was waiting for a little Hobbit to appear out of that house.
Is that house actually being lived in or is it just for show? How can anyone live in there it's sooooo tinyyyy 🤣🤣.
Great video, Wales is a beautiful place one place I haven't been but would love to visit. 👍👍
Love your videos
Thank you so much Elaine!
That car should not have been turning right at 24:12, Conwy High street is one way !
could you please do a video of both Bangor and Aberstwyth .
👍👍
Everyone always forgets to mention Edward I forced the conquered Welsh people to actually do all the hard work of actually building the castle.

I would have preferred to see the town inside the walls rather than the tourist trap garbage by the river.
Ok
This video wasn't that Rose
