Aberconwy House dates back to 14th century and believed to be the oldest surviving townhouse in Wales and just a small short walk away. Plas Mawr, the Elizabethan townhouse with its individual tower and interior plaster work.
Thomas Telford, one of Britian's greatest civil engineers, built Conwy's suspension bridge in 1826, which you can still see today.
Conwy also has the smallest house in Britain, it was on 'in-fill' fisherman's cottage. It also boasts over 200 listed buildings within its walls.
