Conwy County Borough

Conwy County Borough is an administrative area in North Wales that extends along the Irish Sea coast and into mountainous inland regions. The territory encompasses coastal towns and villages alongside elevated terrain that creates diverse landscapes.

The area was created in 1996 when two former districts merged to form a new administrative region. This reorganization brought together the coastal and inland areas under a single local authority.

The region maintains strong Welsh language traditions visible in daily signs and place names throughout the area. You will encounter bilingual notices and hear Welsh spoken in communities, reflecting the local identity.

A railway line connects towns and provides regular services between major cities in and around the borough. This transportation link makes it easy to explore different parts of the area.

The area contains the Great Orme, a dramatic limestone headland that rises steeply and separates two bays along the coast. This natural landmark creates a striking geographical feature that defines the local landscape.
