Deganwy

Ward in Conwy, Wales

Coordinates:53.298, -3.824
OS grid ref:SH 78 79
Dialling code: 01492 (Colwyn Bay)

The Deganwy electoral ward sits on the eastern bank of the estuary of the River Conwy in Conwy, Wales, taking in the small town and waterfront around Deganwy Marina. Its raised headland gives sweeping views across the estuary to Conwy town and the peaks of Snowdonia, and the ward is well connected by rail and road to nearby Llandudno and the wider North Wales coast, making it a popular commuter and leisure location.

Historically the headland is notable for the medieval ruin of Deganwy Castle, a reminder of the site’s early strategic importance, while today the local economy leans on tourism, marina-based activity and a mix of residential development. The ward retains a village feel with local shops, community groups and coastal trails, and recent waterfront regeneration has helped strengthen its appeal as both a day-trip destination and a quiet place to live.
