A fine day out and only 4 miles away. You can drive there and park ( take the first car park which you can find just after the castle roundabout - go straight over). More idyllic on a nice day is to walk or cycle along the coastal path from West Shore Beach. What to see: The Castle ( impressive structure although more of a ruin if you compare to Penrhyn castle for example). Plas Mawr Elizabethan House ( National Trust) in the town. The quayside. Start at The Liverpool Arms pub and walk along the shore , past the smallest house in UK, through an archway and follow the water. Eventually , after passing a school follow the road to the right , cross over the A55, and you will arrive at Conwy Marina and the Mulberry Pub and Cafe. For food or drink in town - try the Erskine Arms ( sister pub to the Cottage Loaf)

The North Shore : The main beach which is the traditional Victorian beach. Great for kids with Punch and Judy and the pier. It gets very busy though. Downside is the lack of sand as there was a mass dumping session of rocks in the 1990's for flood protection. Better choice for a sandy beach and sun bathing is the West Shore beach. ( come out of Clifton Villa, turn right to the end of Chapel Street, and turn LEFT and follow to the beach ( 15 mins). There is a play area here and sandy beaches. You have a cafe and a pub If you want to go further afield you have nice beaches on Anglesey ( about 40 minutes). ( Red Wharf Bay, Newborough, Benlech)

Great day out - especially if the weather is bad since this castle dates only back to the 1880's. Interesting castle and home which will also keep you dry. Beautiful gardens and a nice cafe. National Trust.

Fascinating estate of the Anglesey family on the Menai straits. Beautiful gardens and a nice cafe outside. Also houses the incredible Rex Whistler painting. A must. National Trust. Another one you can do on a rainy day.
