Conwy County Borough

The administrative region stretches along the Irish Sea coast and extends inland toward Snowdonia National Park, encompassing both coastal settlements and mountainous terrain.

The territory formed in 1996 through the merger of Aberconwy and Colwyn districts, establishing a new administrative structure for the northwestern Welsh region.

The region maintains strong Welsh language usage with 25.9 percent of residents speaking Welsh, placing it fifth among Wales' 22 principal administrative areas.

The North Wales Coast Line railway connects multiple towns within the borough, providing regular transportation services between Bangor and Chester through Conwy and Colwyn Bay.

The county contains the Great Orme, a massive limestone headland rising 207 meters above sea level, creating a natural barrier between Conwy Bay and Llandudno Bay.
