Tour of Conwy Town, Part 2
Part 1(Please be patient whilst the pictures download - it might take 20 seconds or so, if you are not on broadband)
Lancaster Square is the centre of a variety of activities in Conwy throughout the year - Morris Dancing and Christmas Carols being two examples.
In the background of the photograph is the police station,
whereas the foreground shows a statue (also below) of Llewellyn the Great.
Alderman Albert Ward of Bodlondeb presented the statue to the town.
From Lancaster Square we continue down Rosehill St (on the left of the photo) through the arch and onto Bangor Road . We are now outside the town walls (Take a tour round the walls).
Walking
downhill along Town Ditch Road (turning left in the photo left) we re-enter
the walled town into Berry Street. This becomes Castle Street at the junction
shown below. On the right can be seen Aberconwy House, now run by the
National Trust. This house dates from the 15th Century, perhaps
as early as 1400.
Turning left before the traffic lights takes us down to the quay. Conwy was once a thriving port, but now the quay houses few fishing boats. You can, however, take a trip round the estuary on 'The Queen Victoria', enjoy some fresh mussels and other seafood from 'Keith the Fish'. Visit Britain's smallest house or simply enjoy the views across the estuary towards Deganwy.
