The coastal town of Penmaenmawr sits on the north coast of Wales in the county borough of Conwy, tucked beneath the rocky ridge of Penmaen Mawr. It has a long promenade and pebble beaches and offers easy access to the North Wales walking routes and the hills of Snowdonia, so it’s popular with walkers and families alike.
Granite quarrying shaped the town’s economy and skyline from the 19th century, and the industrial heritage is still visible in quarry faces and local buildings. Today Penmaenmawr is a mix of a close-knit community, holiday accommodation and commuter homes, with simple cafes and clubs, seasonal events and straightforward rail and road links putting Conwy and Llandudno a short journey away.
