C.R Archaeology

C.R Archaeology sits in Conwy, a town that's absolutely dominated by its castle, so finding this spot takes a bit of effort - which is partly why it's worth knowing about. The site itself is an archaeological landmark that reveals layers of the area's past, from medieval times onwards. It's not a polished museum experience; this is more about understanding Conwy's bones.

The appeal here is specific. If you're into medieval history or how towns actually developed, you'll find something genuine. Families with young kids might struggle - there's no interactive exhibits or play areas, just the substance of what was found and what it tells us. Walkers and history types, though, will appreciate the chance to see archaeology in context rather than behind glass.

Conwy itself is the draw. The castle dominates everything, and C.R Archaeology adds a layer of understanding to why this spot mattered so much. It's worth combining with a walk around town, the harbour, and the stunning Plas Mawr - a beautifully preserved Tudor merchant's house.

If you're staying at Tan Y Bryn Glamping or Dinarth Hall just down the road, you're perfectly positioned. An hour here, then head to the castle proper. Conwy Holiday Park and Conwy Lodge Park give you similar proximity if you want a more traditional setup. Check ahead about opening times and admission - details aren't widely publicised, which tells you this isn't a visitor honeypot, just a proper local site.
