If you love chocolate you will love these guys! I ordered a selection of Dragon Eggs from the Easter Range online as gifts which arrived 2 days after ordering! When they arrived they were well packaged to protect the eggs and the eggs themselves were beautifully presented and decorated. I then placed another order and called to check a couple of things with my order. The gentleman was extremely friendly and helpful! The service and experience from start to finish has been absolutely brilliant! I would highly recommend and I will definitely be ordering again. Thank you for amazing chocolate!

Conwy Mountain

Reviewed By SapphireEngland

Conwy Mountain is lovely to visit. Actually finding the base of the mountain was a bit challenging as we kept going the wrong way but it is straightforward if you know the way! It's a lovely walk up the mountain via the easiest walk and not very strenuous at all. There are wild ponies on the mountain and sheep which is a nice bonus. The views are stunning. Most people seemed to be equipped with hiking boots and walking poles etc although on a nice day a pair of trainers were more than adequate.

Conwy Town Walls

Reviewed By 358EricN - London, United Kingdom

Conwy town walls are one of the few medieval examples in Britain that are almost complete. The fact that you can walk almost the whole length (free!) Makes them all but irresistible. The only daunting aspects are the uneven surfaces (well, wouldn't you expect that after well over 700 years?), some heights that may make some people nervous and a few steep climbs that do tax this septuagenarian. All can be overcome with a little care and it is certainly worth it. From the views up and down the Conwy estuary from the lowest point of the wall jutting into the river, to the spectacular vista of the town from the highest point of the wall every step offers a new perspective. Even better, you are never far from a good place for a rest and refreshment whenever the need arises at any of the 6 access points to the wall. Keep an eye on the kids and imagine yourself as a member of the English garrison charged with keeping the Welsh out of the town once the curfew bell had sounded. It offers an opening into the fascinating history of the area.

Fantastic pub with some excellent beers, staff are friendly as are the regulars. Food is a little unusual, only different Porto pies but they are excellent and I enjoyed the one I had, beers are very well kept. As a beer pub it’s very hard to fault

Conwy Mussels Co.

Reviewed By carsski - North Wales, United Kingdom

These mussels are the best I've ever eaten! They are big, juicy and tasty. At £6 for 2kg they're good value too. I cooked them with bacon, white wine, garlic, parsley and double cream. Delicious!

And old church - look for the red sandstone in the walls......this was removed from a ruined Roman fort 4 miles inland. One grave, “We are seven” is moving. 7 children on one grave all siblings! Have a walk around and look at the grave stones - history!
