Accommodation in Conwy
Often wrongly called "Conway", the name is spelt "Conwy", and pronounced 'Con-ooi'.
The town lies on the west bank of the river Conwy, about 1 mile up from the sea. The name is derived from the Welsh “cyn-wy” meaning “principal river,” and it is to the Conwy as a military obstacle in the path of invading armies that the town owes its importance in history.
Conwy is approached from the north either by the century-old suspension bridge, or by the tubular railway bridge of Stephenson. The road bridge and the castle, perched above “Conwy’s foaming blood,” seem almost one building, and there is no doubt that this is the best way to approach. To the NW the low ground of Conwy Morfa contains an 18-hole golf course, and makes a convenient spot for bathing. The town is a walled fortress, shaped rather like a Welsh harp, with the Castle at the apex.
This castle, of oblong shape, with walls 15 feet thick, and eight massive circular towers, not all standing, was built in 1284 by Edward I, on the site of an earlier fortress dating back to the time of the Conqueror. The castle has two courtyards. The Great Hall, now roofless, has a chapel at the East End, with a well-designed window. In the Queen’s Tower there is a beautiful thirteenth-century Oratory, while tradition has it that the head of Llewellyn the Great, who was slain in 1282, was brought to Edward I in the Banqueting Hall.
