About

Conwy ward encompasses the historic walled town itself, situated on the west bank of the River Conwy estuary. The area is defined by its medieval street pattern and the imposing presence of Conwy Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The town walls remain almost entirely complete, encircling the compact centre. The quayside and the suspension bridge by Thomas Telford are other prominent features along the waterfront.

The ward extends to include the residential areas of Morfa and Penmaen Park to the west, transitioning into more suburban housing. Local life centres on the small harbour, the historic Plas Mawr townhouse, and the remaining original town gates like Porth-y-Felin. The area functions as a market and administrative hub for the wider rural region, with its economy closely tied to its heritage and the tourism it attracts.
