About

Colwyn Bay North is a residential district located along the coastline of Conwy County Borough. The area is characterised by its proximity to the Irish Sea, with many streets offering views across the bay.

A defining element is the historic Colwyn Bay Victoria Pier, a prominent seafront structure that extends into the water, though it is currently closed to the public. The area slopes gently upwards from the promenade and beach, with the main A55 North Wales Expressway running nearby, connecting it to broader regional transport networks. Local facilities include schools and shopping parades catering to daily needs, maintaining a self-contained community atmosphere.
