In the heart of the Village of Penmaenmawr some of the original features of the old town still exist and this has many expanding and developing businesses. However, since the A55 has bypassed the village the town the road is quieter from the busy road that was once used as the main route from Conwy to Holyhead. Within the town we have a number of local village shops, businesses and places to eat which are well worth visiting.
