We always liked to visit for a step back in time. The 13th century town walls still exist and it is possible to walk the wall around the whole center section of the city, peering into second floor windows, on stones that were laid 700 years ago. The castle itself is fairly well preserved. It was used as a military base until the 1600's and was fortified and attacked during the Cromwell rebellion. The reason for the town?s preservation has little to do with the British love for antiquity. Rather is is due to the fact that the main highway to England bypassed the town, leaving it as an occasionally visited backwater. Larry Z - - - - I love Conwy. We go there often when visiting my daughter in Anglesey. The best fish and chip shop I know is at the bottom of the high street. They still fry in beef dripping. That Church has a very weird, much modified-over-the-years tower and clock.
