This tour makes the most of your time in Conwy - a guided tour of the Castle and Walled Town
Please note during these Covid times Castle tickets need to be rebooked at set times. Please check availability before contacting me (walesguide@gmail.com) to ensure availability for a guided tour.
We'll meet outside the Tourist Information Centre where we can get to know each other and then we'll walk on a short section of the town walls (those who are worried about heights will be given alternatives) before enjoying the spectacle of this magnificent UNESCO world heritage site building where you'll learn the historical background. Next we'll go in and explore it. We'll wander around the defensive structures and learn what life was like living in such a castle. We'll climb up a tower (subject to Covid restrictions) and walk along the wall walks. Those not wanting to do this will be advised where they can rejoin the tour). After about an hour in the castle we'll walk through the old walled town past the interesting churchyard and down to the quayside to see the oldest building in Conwy and the Smallest House in Great Britain. The tour ends outside the fascinating Plas Mawr - one of the finest Elizabethan town houses in Britain. I recommend you book entry to this which includes an audio commentary. Allow at least another hour for this visit.
When: Because of Covid tickets for the castle and Plas Mawr have to be prebooked so please e mail or telephone about timing for your group and I will try to arrange something,
