Penmaenmawr
Penmaenmawr is a community as well as area in Conwy County District, Wales, which was formerly in the parish of Dwygyfylchi. It is on the North Wales coastline in between Conwy and Llanfairfechan and was a vital quarrying community, though quarrying is no more a significant employer. The population of the community was 4,353 in 2011, including Dwygyfylchi as well as Capelulo. The town itself having a population of 2,868 (2011 ). It was named after Penmaenmawr hill, which stands above the sea instantly west of the community. Much of its formerly rounded top (with an old hill-fort) has actually been quarried away, leaving the contemporary lower flat top. The town was bypassed by the A55 Expressway in the 1980s, losing its old Edwardian period boardwalk in the process, which was largely replaced by a modern one. Penmaenmawr is noted for its stunning hill as well as coastal strolls. Nearby are the preferred attractions of Bwlch Sychnant (Sychnant Pass) as well as Mynydd y Dref, and also the community also lies partially within Eryri, the Snowdonia National Park.
