Conwy Marina

Marina information

The marina at Conwy is the first purpose-built marina on the north Wales coast and is superbly situated with the 13th castle facing opposite. There is good shelter when approaching except in strong NW'lies.The large 500- berth marina has fully serviced berths on pontoons. In 2000 an automatic barrier flap gate was built to provide a tidal sill to reduce silting in the marina which can be accessed through half tide and high water.Outside of this period vessels should wait at the pontoon outside the gate entrance.
The marina is an ideal base from which to start cruising, say, the picturesque waters of the Conwy River as far inland to Tal-y-Cafn or along the north Wales coast to Anglesey and the Llyn Peninsula.The coastline of Ireland is only a day's sail away to other marinas.

Visit Conwy

The town at Deganwy Quay directly faces the impressive and imposing world heritage site of the Norman castle of King Edward I in Conwy. Deganwy itself was once a Roman stronghold at the river mouth and a working dock can be traced back to the 12th century. In the 1880's a railway was built to the quay initially to export coal and slate. Overlooking the town is Vardre Hill which has antique and designer fashion boutiques, some fronted with Victorian and Edwardian verandas that add to the overall ambiance.
Within the town walls of Conwy are a jumble of narrow quaint streets with shops, pubs and restaurants.At the centre is the Plas Mawr (The Great Hall) claimed by many to be the finest surviving Elizabethan town house in Britain.The quay at the Old Harbour is host to an active fishing fleet and a series of bridges span the river, including Telford's suspension bridge and Robert Stephenson's splendid railway bridge.
Apart from Conwy's immense history, Deganwy is close to Llandudno, Colwyn Bay and Rhos-on-Sea, popular seaside resorts where a variety of entertainment from theatres, cinemas and restaurants can be found.The natural beauty of the Snowdonia National Park forms a backdrop and is to where many outdoor pursuits can be undertaken.
