Colwyn Bay is a classic North Wales seaside town with a gentle pace, sea views that stretch for miles, and a strong sense of community. It hugs the north coast, tucked between Llandudno and Abergele, with a long promenade, a sandy beach and a touch of old-school resort charm. There's something laid-back about Colwyn Bay—it doesn't shout about itself, but it's the kind of place where you can breathe a bit deeper and take things slow. Whether you're in for a beach day, a quiet coffee or a stroll through the hills, it's a town that keeps things simple in the best way.

The town really got going in the Victorian era, when the railway brought in waves of holidaymakers keen for some fresh sea air. What had been a sleepy coastal hamlet became a fully-fledged resort, with hotels, gardens and even a pier. As the decades rolled on, Colwyn Bay grew into a popular destination for families and retirees alike, with a strong local identity and plenty of regular visitors. It's still a favourite with many today. The town and its built-up area now has a population of just over 29,000 and continues to evolve, with regeneration along the seafront and a few new spots breathing fresh life into the traditional setting.

There's plenty to keep you busy in and around town. The beach is a natural highlight—wide, clean and backed by a long promenade, perfect for walking, cycling or just watching the world go by. Porth Eirias has become a bit of a hub, with its bistro, watersports centre and striking design right on the shore. Eirias Park is a real gem—lakes, gardens, sports facilities and even a stadium, all rolled into one. A short walk takes you to the Welsh Mountain Zoo, perched on the hillside with brilliant views and plenty of wildlife to keep the kids (and adults) entertained. For history lovers, National Trust's Bodnant Garden is just a short drive away and full of seasonal colour and woodland paths. Conwy Castle, run by Cadw, is close by too and makes for a brilliant half-day trip—massive towers, medieval walls and river views included.

Looking further across Clwyd, you're spoilt for choice. Llangollen has its canal boats and steam railway, Ruthin is packed with historic charm, and Denbigh's castle ruins still dominate the skyline. The Clwydian Range offers dramatic upland scenery for walking and hiking, and the nearby Vale of Clwyd gives you a quieter, greener contrast to the coast. Rhyl and Prestatyn bring more seaside atmosphere to the east, while inland towns like Mold offer markets, arts and a good place to stop for lunch. Whether you're heading into the hills or following the coast, there's always something new round the next bend.

Colwyn Bay is easy enough to get to, which adds to its appeal. It sits just off the A55 North Wales Expressway, with quick links to Llandudno, Bangor, and even Chester and the M56. The railway station is right in the town centre, with regular services along the North Wales coast line to Holyhead, Llandudno, and all the way back to Manchester and Birmingham. Bus services run locally and regionally. For air travel, Liverpool John Lennon Airport and Manchester Airport are both within reach, each just over an hour's drive away. Once you're in town, everything's close together—so you can park up and walk, cycle or hop on a bus to get about.

Clwyd as a historic county covers a big and varied patch of North East Wales. Though it's now split into smaller areas like Conwy, Denbighshire, Wrexham and Flintshire, the name Clwyd still holds weight. From market towns and coastal resorts to rolling farmland and wild uplands, the county has a bit of everything. It's an area with strong Welsh roots, plenty of character and a good mix of English and Welsh influence. Whether you're in a quiet valley or a bustling market town, Clwyd has a way of making you feel like there's more than meets the eye.

We hope you found this Colwyn Bay tourist map useful for your visit to the area.
