Penmaenmawr

A tiny quarrying village before the arrival of the railway in 1848, this small holiday resort, with its sand and shingle beach, has changed little since William Gladstone holidayed here in the 19th century, and it still boasts many fine Victorian buildings. Gladstone was a frequent visitor, and there’s a bust of him on a granite obelisk in Paradise Road. Penmaenmawr has a small industrial heritage park, Parc Plas Mawr, which features industrial heritage, as well as works of art such as sculpture and objects carved from wood. The foundations of a house owned by the Derbyshire family have been uncovered by archaeologists.

In the town’s steep mountain-backed hinterland can be found many prehistoric sites, including one of Wales’ best known Bronze Age stone circles, Cefn Coch. An urn was uncovered here containing the remains of a child as well as a bronze dagger said to be evidence that a ritual sacrifice once took place here.
