Take
a trip round the historic Walls of Conwy
Please be patient whilst this page downloads - I hope the photographs are worth the wait!
| There are three places to join the walk on the walls around the town. I have started at the arch over Uppergate Street. Though the walk is not strenuous, the steps are quite steep, in parts, and there is no access for wheelchairs. Having climbed the tower, bear right and walk up to the highest point on the walls (there is a photo later showing the view from the town towards this point) |  |
The view from here, across Conwy town, towards the castle is shown above. The estuary of the River Conwy can be seen, as can the "Cob" - the man-made spur of land prior to the bridges. |
 |
Walking downhill now, thankfully, you can see one of the best-preserved stretches of wall, leading down to the sea. (I think I heard somewhere that Conwy Walls are the most intact walls in Europe - certainly they still exist surrounding the town but you cannot walk all the way round)
