Conwy Castle and its adjoining walled town was built by King Edward I between 1283 & 1289 at the mouth of the River Conwy. The town is the seat of the Conwy County Borough Council, the local government area that extends along the North Wales Coast from Llanfairfechan and Penmaenmawr in the west, via Conwy to Colwyn Bay, Abergele and Kimnel Bay in the east, and from Llandudno down the Conwy Valley south to Bodnant, Llanrwst, Betws y Coed, Dolwyddelan, Capel Curig and beyond.  Snowdonia (the Snowdonia National Park) extends northwards until it reaches the sea near Llanfairfechan between Conwy and Bangor.
