Encyclopedic overview
Conwy County Borough (Welsh: Bwrdeistref Sirol Conwy) is a county borough in the north of Wales. It borders the Irish Sea to the north, Gwynedd to the west and south, and Denbighshire to the east. The most populous community is Llandudno, while the capital is Conwy (though the administrative center is in Colwyn Bay at Coed Pella ).
The county borough has an area of 1,126 square kilometres (435 mi) and had an estimated population of 114,891 in 2024. The largest settlements are on the coast. They include the seaside resorts of Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, and Abergele, which form part of a near-continuous strip of coastal development that extends east to Prestatyn in Denbighshire. Conwy is slightly inland, at the mouth of the River Conwy, and the interior of the county is sparsely populated with Llanrwst as the only town.
