We visited Conwy Castle on a Sunday in autumn, and it was such a wonderful experience! I’m not sure how it looks in other seasons, but in late October and early November, the view from the top of the castle is absolutely breathtaking. The trees around the town are painted in so many beautiful autumn colours — it’s truly a spectacular sight from above! The castle itself is very well preserved and tidy. We climbed up one of the towers with our 10-year-old son — and it was a big moment for him because he’s afraid of heights. It actually turned into a great way for him to face his fear! If you visit with kids, I’d recommend being extra careful when going up the stone stairs and pathways — they’re uneven and can be a bit tricky. But it’s definitely worth it. We had such a lovely and memorable weekend. The ticket line was short, everything was smooth, and we left impressed and happy. The highlight for me was definitely the view from the top — absolutely stunning, especially with the autumn colours. A place worth visiting for sure!
We visited Conwy Castle on a beautifully warm sunny September day whilst staying on holiday in one of the cottages right next to it! It got so warm I had to go back and get changed in to a dress from jeans before going in! We had been before years ago; it’s still one of the most beautiful castles you’ve ever seen! Definitely one of the best preserved after all these years too! 💛 The castle itself was stunning and so fun to look around! 🏰 You can go up in the towers and walk around the top! We don’t go all the way to the top in some as it was so high and we were a bit scared! The cottage we stayed in had some of the castle wall behind it but not the part you could walk along so that was a nice view too! There is even the stocks still there and a big chair to take photos in! The views of the sea are absolutely breathtaking! 🌊💙🩵 You can look over the suspension bridge and the town too! 🌁 It’s definitely worth a trip to if you’re in Conwy! You won’t be disappointed! 😆 The gift shop has a great selection too and price to get in isn’t too bad as there’s so much to look around at! It was very busy even on a September weekday!
Fascinating castle and history, cafe and shop. Easy parking next to the castle. Some high towers with narrow stairway. Great views across the harbour and sea. Interesting place to visit. We enjoyed our visit.
An amazing and imposing castle with the walls surrounding the town. It’s free to go up and walk around sections of the wall (if you have a head for heights) and enjoy the views. Lovely visitor centre with great shop and free to use toilets (unlike the tourist information centre across the road!). Didn’t have time to go into castle but certainly will try to get back for a visit sometime.
Conwy Castle is amazing! The place is huge and the views from the towers are just stunning—you can see the whole town, the sea, and the hills all around. Walking along the walls feels like a little adventure, and it’s super fun to explore all the towers and stairways. Everything is really well looked after, and there are signs around that explain the history in a simple way. The town itself is also lovely—perfect for a wander and a bite to eat after the castle. The only downside that there is no free guidance booklet with history clues. Definitely one of nice spots I’ve visited in North Wales!
