Deganwy holiday accommodation suits walks along the front to Conwy or Llandudno. Deganwy faces west across the Conwy estuary, looking straight at Conwy Castle and the walls that surround the old town. The beach takes the sun all afternoon and the marina sits at the far end of it. The Wales Coast Path runs along the front from here, to Llandudno one way and Conwy the other.

Walk up to what is left of Deganwy Castle. It takes about twenty minutes from the village. From the top you can see down the estuary to the open sea, across to Conwy Castle and the walls, and inland up the valley towards the mountains. It is short but steep, on grass and rock, so wear proper shoes.
Deganwy Castle once stood on the two rocky humps above the village, and it was a stronghold long before Conwy Castle existed. A Norman called Robert of Rhuddlan held a castle on them in the 1070s, and Llywelyn the Great, the Welsh prince, took it back and rebuilt it in stone.
Henry III then spent more than £2,200 on it, an enormous sum at the time, and garrisoned it against the Welsh princes. His grandson Llywelyn ap Gruffudd threw the castle down in 1263, and Edward I chose the far bank for Conwy instead. Only footings and fragments are left on the hills.
Below the castle hills, the old dock that once shipped slate out of the valley is a marina, with the quay beside it. The beach faces west so it holds the afternoon sun, and the station on the Llandudno branch is a few minutes’ walk from the front.
Deganwy sits between Llandudno and Conwy, the two places most people come for. Llandudno is two and a half miles north and Conwy is across the estuary. The Conwy valley runs south from here towards Betws-y-Coed, with Bodnant Garden about fifteen minutes up that road.
