Bryn Morfa sits on the Conwy side of the estuary, tucked in under a green headland with the hills rising straight up behind the vans. It is a small, quiet park rather than a resort, and most people who stay here are out all day.
Conwy Morfa beach is a thirteen-minute walk. The Snowdonia National Park boundary is 150 yards away, which is about as close as you can get to the mountains without being in them.
The caravans
The vans are statics, sleeping up to six across two or three bedrooms. Inside you get a lounge with a sofa and a television, a kitchen with a gas cooker and a fridge, a shower room and a separate lavatory.
The bedrooms are made up before you arrive. Some vans have a decking area outside the door and space to park beside them.
No pets are allowed at Bryn Morfa under any circumstances, so this is not the park to bring the dog to.
Conwy on the doorstep
Conwy is one of the best-preserved walled towns in Europe. The castle was built for Edward I between 1283 and 1287, and the town walls still run unbroken round the old centre with twenty-one towers and three gateways.
Down on the quay is the Smallest House in Great Britain, ten feet by six and painted post-box red. Beside it, Thomas Telford’s suspension bridge of 1826 crosses the river on chains, built deliberately to match the castle’s towers.
The quay itself still lands mussels, and there are boat trips out into the bay through the season.
Walking and cycling
The Wales Coast Path runs along the front of the park, and the North Wales coastal cycle route passes through on its way from Talacre to Penmaenmawr. Conwy Mountain rises behind the town with an iron age hillfort on top and a view over the whole estuary.
The Sychnant Pass road climbs out of Conwy towards Penmaenmawr and is worth driving even if you never get out of the car. Bodnant Garden is a short run down the valley, and the Conwy Valley railway leaves Llandudno Junction for Betws-y-Coed several times a day.
RSPB Conwy sits on the far shore of the estuary. The lagoons there were dug out of the spoil from the road tunnel, and the hides look out over wading birds all year.
Conwy Morfa
The Morfa itself is the flat ground between the park and the sea, and it has a decent claim to fame. The first game of golf in Wales was played here in 1869, and the club that grew out of it is still going.
The beach is sand and shingle with the Great Orme across the bay. It is a working stretch of coast rather than a resort front, which keeps it quiet even in August.
Who it suits
People who want a base rather than a holiday camp. There is no pool, no club and no bar on the park, and the appeal is where it is rather than what is on it.
