Tweedle Dum & Tweedle Dee

Two oversized bronze figures stand guard outside Conwy's railway station, and they're impossible to miss. These chunky twins - Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee - represent one of the more whimsical public art installations you'll encounter in North Wales. Created as part of a community art project, they're properly substantial pieces that children absolutely love clambering around.

Families staying at nearby parks like Hafan y Gogarth or Aberconwy Resort often make this a quick photo stop when exploring Conwy. The sculptures work well as a starting point before heading into the medieval town proper - they're right by the station, so parking is straightforward. Kids will want five minutes for photos and a bit of climbing, though there's not much else to keep them occupied here.

What makes them worth seeking out is their unexpected presence in such a historic setting. While Conwy Castle dominates the skyline behind them, these Alice in Wonderland characters bring a touch of modern playfulness to proceedings. Art enthusiasts might appreciate the craftsmanship, but honestly, most visitors treat them as a fun photo opportunity rather than a serious cultural experience. If you're already in Conwy - and you should be, given the castle and town walls - they're worth the two-minute detour from Llandudno.
