Rhos-on-Sea looks out across Colwyn Bay, with Llandudno and the Great Orme closing the view to the west. The front is flat the whole way along, which makes it a place for a slow walk and a long look at the sea. Behind it the streets climb into quiet avenues of trees. Holiday accommodation in Rhos-on-Sea suits a slow seaside week, with a flat promenade for walks.

The Cistercian monks of Aberconwy Abbey put a fishing weir on the shore here in the Middle Ages, a wall of stones that trapped fish as the tide went out. The place took its name from them: Rhos Fynach, the heath of the monks.
The weir caught a great deal. Thirty-five thousand herring came out of it in a single night in 1850, and ten tons of mackerel in one tide as late as 1907. Parliament banned fish weirs in 1861 unless the owners could prove theirs was older than Magna Carta, and the Parry Evans family, who held this one, proved it.
St Trillo’s Chapel stands right on the beach by the old fishing weir. It measures only eleven feet by eight, with room for six chairs, and is believed to be the smallest church in the British Isles. It is open every day.
The building beside the weir is a pub now, still called the Rhos Fynach, with a beer garden at the top of the beach and crazy golf next to it. You can walk to it along the front from either direction.
Rhos-on-Sea is a good base for this end of the coast. Colwyn Bay is a mile and a half along the front, Llandudno ten minutes west, and Conwy and Bodnant Garden are both a short run from here.
