About

Conwy sits where the River Conwy meets the Irish Sea, centred on a quay and a compact medieval core. The 13th-century Conwy Castle and the town walls remain a clear imprint of Edward I’s town plan, and the quay still shows rows of houses and fishing slips. On the waterfront the narrow red-painted Smallest House in Great Britain stands between two larger buildings, a well-known local marker beside the sea wall and the harbour slipways.

Afon Roe rises on the lower slopes of the Carneddau and descends through the settlement of Rowen into the Conwy valley. The river cuts a short, steep course with wooded banks and local footpaths that link farm tracks and lanes. Old stone bridges and lanes carry farm traffic and walkers toward ridge routes above the valley, and the pattern of fields and hedgerows reflects long-established land use. The area is used for grazing, smallholdings and recreational walking, with the river and village forming a compact rural pocket within the Conwy county borough.
