Deganwy

Deganwy ward lies on the eastern bank of the Conwy estuary, directly opposite the town of Conwy. The area encompasses the settlements of Deganwy itself and Llandudno Junction, a major transport hub where the A55 North Wales Expressway and rail lines converge. The landscape is defined by the broad tidal waters and the prominent twin hills of Deganwy, which offer expansive views across to the medieval castle and mountains of Snowdonia. Residential areas mix with light industrial and commercial zones, particularly around the junction.

The ward's history is anchored by the substantial ruins of Deganwy Castle, a medieval fortress built atop the volcanic rock of the larger hill. Below, the modern marina and waterfront promenade provide a focal point, with activities centred on the water and connections via the adjacent railway bridge. The area functions as a practical gateway, with its infrastructure facilitating movement while the hills and estuary provide a distinct natural setting amidst the urban functionality.
