 River Conwy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The River Conwy (Welsh: Afon Conwy) is a river in North Wales, United Kingdom.
The Conwy is bounded to the East by the rolling ancient mudstone hills of the Silurian period, the Migneint Moors.
The Conwy is noted for its Salmon and Sea trout although increasing acidification in the second half of the 20th century, especially in the poorly buffered upland waters has significantly impacted upon their spawning success.

 Conwy, Wales
Dominated by its fabulous 13th Century castle, Conwy is one of the best examples of a medieval walled town in Britain and as a UNESCO world heritage site, the town and the castle are one of Wales’ cultural treasures.
Conwy was one of the key links in the chain of castles built along the northern coastline, by the English king Edward I to subjugate the Welsh princes of Snowdonia.
Today Conwy is entered via the narrow roads through its castle gates and the bay is a marina of small fishing and pleasure boats.
