About

Rhiw ward sits on the western side of the town of Conwy, encompassing a mix of residential streets and elevated land. The area includes part of the town's historic walls and is bordered by the Conwy River estuary to the north. Its topography slopes upwards from the town centre, offering views over the rooftops and towards the water. Housing here ranges from traditional terraces to more modern developments, serving as a primarily residential community for the town.

A significant feature is the presence of Conwy Mountain, a large hill of heath and rock that forms a prominent backdrop. Public footpaths lead from the ward up its slopes, providing access to the Iron Age hillfort of Castell Caer Seion. This open countryside contrasts with the urban layout below, with the mountain's silhouette defining the southern skyline of the area.
