About

Uwch Conwy is a large, predominantly rural ward covering an extensive area of the Conwy County Borough. It encompasses several villages including Betws-y-Coed, Dolwyddelan, and Penmachno, set within the dramatic landscapes of the Snowdonia National Park. The ward is defined by its rivers, forests, and mountainous terrain, which shape its sparse settlement pattern and community life.

The area's history is deeply connected to the slate industry, with remnants visible in the local architecture and landscape. The River Conwy and the River Llugwy are central geographical features, supporting both the natural environment and local activities. The ward contains significant transport routes, like the A5 road, which traverse its challenging topography to connect its communities.
