Almost as enjoyable as climbing the towers of Conwy Castle. The medieval walls are well preserved and provide beautiful views of Conwy along with the imposing Castle rising above the town and the surrounding countryside including River Conwy. The walls are quite extensive and you can walk the entire 1.2km. Don't just walk the bit from near the car park to the castle but get out a map and explore the entire thing. There are several entrance points including one off of Bangor Road just before crossing Town Ditch Road.

As well as building the castle, Edward I built walls around the town below. These are still some of the best preserved town walls in the country, with only parts of the walls along the quayside missing. Most of the walls are also walkable with steep steps accessing them at the gateways or where the road cuts though the walls. It is worth walking the walls just for the good views across the town. You really can see the layout and how it relates the the castle. A slight word of caution - the wall walk isn't particualrly wide and is also fairly rough. The stones can be slippery after rain. Don't miss the twelve latrines built along the outside of the walls to the west of Mill Gate. (You can';t see them from the walls so have to go outside. ) These were built for use by Edward I’s logistic corps (the equivalent of today’s civil service) whose building was outside the castle on the site of the car park.

What a wonderful experience to walk along the walled fortifications while admiring the outstanding scenery of this unique location. The best part is that it is free. There are multiple locations for accessing the wall, so just keep walking and eventually you’ll come upon a stairway giving you access to the ramparts. Take your time and appreciate the history that the town of Conwy has lovingly preserved. Great job!

Loved the walk around the town on these ancient walls. Beautiful views of the surrounding countryside, town and the castle itself. Recommend skipping the castle itself and just doing the walk. Such an inspiring ancient town and history. My fit but very elderly nonagenarian mother managed the walk around the walls, too, although there were uneven parts.

Conwy is a bustling and beautiful town bursting with independent giftshops, trinkets and antiques stores and traditional pubs galore. With lots of small parking lots dotted around the town it’s just a case of driving around until a space comes free. Conwy isn’t huge and it doesn’t take long to stroll around but it’s so worth it, we didn’t go to the castle but we did walk up the walls around the castle, around the quant town and along the harbour. Here’s what we did on our visit to the town: - Had the most delicious roast dinner at Erskins Pub, chosen because of its fab reviews and it didn’t disappoint - Visted Great Britain’s Smallest House - Grabbed a welsh made traditional ice cream and ate it in the rain. There is a visitor centre in Conwy which is helpful to discovering more. Hope this has been helpful for anyone thinking of a visit to Conwy

We passed through Conwy on our way to Pwllheli. We parked near a section of the walls and accessed via some stairs. We followed the walls to the castle and then descended. Obviously not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs as lots of steep sections and stairs! We did not go in the castle but visited the shop and visitors centre. We then walked down to the harbour area and had fish and chips. We rejoined the walls at the far side of the harbour and ended back where we joined near the car. In total spent about 2 hours in Conwy and really enjoyed it.

Whilst visiting Conwy we decided to walk the city walls after our trip to Conwy Castle. Walking the walls is a really nice free activity to do whilst visiting this town. There's some information boards along the walk with some historical information about the town and the walls which was interesting and the views of Conwy (and beyond) from there are really lovely, great for some nice photo opportunities particularly down by the harbour. It is worth noting however that the walk can be a little difficult. There are some very steep slopes (and by the time we got to the last one we were both already worn out and struggled with it) and the ground is mostly uneven adding an extra challenge. The path is quite narrow too making it a little tricky if people are coming past in the opposite direction. Regardless we both really enjoyed our walk of the walls and would happily recommend doing this whilst visiting the town if you're able to.
