Just a few miles along the estuary and we come upon the World Heritage Site of the medieval walled town and Castle of Conwy.

The harbour and Telford's Suspension Bridge at Conwy.


Travelling further south up the Conwy valley our journey takes us past Glan Conwy and the world famous Bodnant Gardens.

A view toward Snowdonia

On the hills near by there are many interesting old churches and ancient burial sites. Above the village of Hendre you will find the Old Church of Llangelynin and St. Celynin's Holy Well, and above the nearby village of Rowen you will find ancient standing stones and a neolithic burial chamber.

And over the hill and not so very far away from the church you will come across the impressive neolithic burial chamber known as Maen y Bardd, and nearby the standing stones of Bwlch y Ddeufaen.

Bend in the River Conwy near Tal y Cafn.

Coming back down to the river valley we continue on to the market town of Llanrwst.


The Inigo Jones Bridge.
