Just over an hour's drive from Liverpool, the magical town awaits you. A popular destination for tourists visiting Wales, Conwy is a sight you can see at its stunning estuary and marina. This historic location offers ample views and views to continue occupying the entire weekend.
Liverpool Echo Reporter Paul Macauley had the opportunity to explore this charming market town on Sunday thanks to the tourism company's busy bus and North Wales adventure tour. Conwy is one of the most beautiful, but perhaps lesser known places in the UK, offering an hour to see the sights on the tour.
When the rain was threatened, Paul headed straight towards the town's ancient quay and saw what it had to offer – and he was excited what he had done. He said, “The relaxed atmosphere is contagious along the entire harbor, and the boat slowly sways against the backdrop of the gentle hills of Degany in the distance,” and that if the sun was out, he could have easily featured the picturesque views on postcards for sale at Mark and Spencer.
Liverpool's weapons, a relic of the time, provided a traditional pub that was perfect for sitting and watching the world pass by. Paul did the right thing and pitched “a heartfelt meal of a chilly Magners bottle in one hand and a straight fish, chips and mushy peas from the other rapper.” Just minutes from a local pub that is unknown to many, the Guinness World Record holder lives there.
Located at the end of the cottage row is the smallest home in the UK. Built in the 1600s, this unique residence can be visited for a mere 122 inches, 72 inches wide and 1.5m squared high floor space, making it a small fee.
The charming Little Red House may be compact, but it's amazing how practical and everyday facilities are packed inside. There is ample space for single beds, fireplaces and coal bunkers.
Incredibly, the last person living in the 1900s was a man standing at 6 feet three.
Naturally, without a stroll through the very well preserved castle, your visit to Conwy will not be complete. The famous bases, which charge £15 admission, offer ample opportunities for photography, but prepare to earn them as a sudden, sometimes dangerous step.
Other places to visit in Conwy include Bodnant Garden, Albion Alehouse and Aberconwy House.
In conclusion, Paul was a Conway convert: “It is definitely a place where you can easily spend a weekend where you can soak up all the historic sights and explore the gorgeous views and cobblestone streets.”
