Conwy (pronounced Conway) is a coastal town that was once surrounded by the high walls of the castle. The city is a village really, small and quaint. It now consists of the village inside the walls and the village outside the walls. The entire village is dominated by the castle on the hill with only about 4 streets. We took a walk around the top of the wall as far as we could go, approximately half to 3/4 the way around the village. Lots of stairs and hills.
This is the smallest house in the UK. It is a few meters deep and about the same wide. The lady said that a fisherman used to live there and before him a couple. They had a pull down bed that was stored in the ceiling when unused..........talk about compact. I wonder where the bathroom was?
The city and castle are located on the north Wales shore and mussels are the main featured shellfish. Lots of boats, sailboats, etc. were scattered throughout the harbor. It is a most beautiful setting and everyone says that we had the luck of the weather with us..........from that I gather that it is rainy and rather gloomy most of the year.
This is the Gwyfryn BandB where we are staying. Lovely home, but the decor is soooooo cluttered that there isn't enough room to put your things. It is very clean and the young couple that own it are very nice.
