Plas Mawr, Conwy


Plas Mawr is the best Elizabethan town house in Britain. Located in Conwy, home to one of Edward I’s castles, Conwy is the perfect place for history lovers. Robert Wynn bought the house in 1576, for the fee of £200; Wynn set about building the mansion to its current look.

Visitors can step back in time and experience what life was like in a Tudor home. Explore 17 rooms all decorated to their original taste, and imagine the conversations that must have been had during a very difficult period in British history. In addition, after four years of restoration the Elizabethan garden has been brought back to its previous, magnificent best. (Visit Conwy)

The picture in this postcard is that of Plas Mawr's gatehouse as viewed from the High Street. We visited this beautiful house after we first toured Conwy Castle in summer of 2023. It was like going back in time when you are inside the town house as you tour the different parts of the house and you also got to know the lives of the people who once lived here.
