Conwy, a gem of a seaside town in North Wales, is not only stunning but has something extraordinary—a building that might just top the list of quirky UK marvels. If you love the idea of ancient history colliding with coastal charm, you’re in for a treat!
Right on Conwy Quay is the Smallest House in Great Britain. This bright red, tiny dwelling might measure only 72 inches wide, but it’s a huge hit with visitors. It’s been charming folks for over a century, and for just £1.50, you can peek inside and imagine what life was like for its 6ft 3in former resident!
After snapping selfies, wander along the quay to The Liverpool Arms for a cosy drink, or if you fancy some time on the water, hop on the Queen Victoria cruise boat. Revel in the views of Conwy Valley, Anglesey, and keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife.
Of course, Conwy Castle is an unmissable stop. It’s part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, standing proud with its eight towers and impressive medieval walls. Not just a backdrop for your holiday snaps, this fortress has tales to tell—rumour has it, ghostly figures wander its halls. Spooky, right?
After your castle adventure, head to Dylan’s Restaurant. Not only is the food a delightful ode to local flavours, but the views of Conwy Castle from the upper floors are something special. Their Moules Marinière, featuring Menai Strait mussels, is a must-try!
Need a place to rest? The Quay Hotel & Spa is a lavish retreat with stunning estuary views. Take a relaxing walk around Deganwy, or spoil yourself with a treatment at their spa, using luxurious ESPA products.
For a homely touch, book The Old Sweet Shop, right in town. This cosy two-bedroom hideaway’s open-plan space and delightful playroom make it perfect for families. Bring your furry friends, snap some memories, and enjoy your home away from home.
Conwy wraps you in its magic with every step—don’t miss the chance to experience it!
