Deganwy

Deganwy sits mid way between Llandudno and Conwy, with spectacular views of Snowdonia, Conwy Castle, Conwy Estuary, Anglsey and the Menai Strait. It is a small town with a rich heritage.

Deganwy's most notable feature is Deganwy Castle, which, in the 6th century was the stronghold of Maelgwn Gwynedd, king of Gwynedd. The hill on which the castle was built was fortified many times over the centuries. It was the site of a Norman castle built around 1082 and occupied by Robert of Rhuddlan, and later by Llywelyn the Great. Edward I demolished the castle, when the present castle was built in Conwy.

The railway station at Deganwy is part of the Llandudno branch line with an hourly train service, to and from Manchester and intermediate stations.
