The seaside resort town of Colwyn Bay sits on the North Wales coast, overlooking the beautiful Church Bay. The many tourists who come to visit this beautiful slice of Earth do so with ease thanks to the advanced Colwyn Bay Railway Station as well as the A55 Road, which cuts through Colwyn Bay as it runs alongside the coast line of Wales.
Colwyn Bay itself has a population of just under ten thousand people, but this estimate doesn't quite tell the whole story. Colwyn Bay was officially split up into several boroughs in the seventies so many areas that consider themselves to be part of Colwyn Bay aren't included in the census. If one were to add the people from Rhos-on-Sea, Old Colwyn, Llysfaen, and Mochdre, Colwyn Bay's population would be a much more accurate number of close to thirty thousand residents. At any rate, this entire area is considered to be the second most populated part of North Wales and the sixteenth largest settlement in all of Wales.
Colwyn's population, though already larger than many people think, positively booms during tourist season because of all the attractions to be found within the city, as is to be expected with any seaside resort town. Victoria Pier is one such attraction that beckons visitors not only for its beauty but for its age. Built in 1899, the Pier has had many extensions and renovations but still maintains much of its original charm. Theatre productions were performed right on the pier as early as 1903 and many spectacular events still occur on this hallowed pier to this day. Eirias Park is also a major draw and offers an arguably better array of attractions than Victoria Pier. Its fifty acres include a six lane swimming pool, a world-class gym, a sports arena, tennis courts, a bowling green, and even a hockey rink. For animal lovers, nothing beats the famed Welsh Mountain Zoo. This park is filled with some of the rarest and most fascinating species on the earth including California sea lions, snow leopards, and even Andean Condors. Recently, the zoo successfully bred Wales first-ever Bactrian Camel. Since the late eighties many extra features have been added that have allowed even more visitors to revel in the splendor of the zoo, including Chimpanzee World, Bear Falls, and the European Otter Enclosure. As of now the zoo is working on a world-class reptile section that should enthrall even more visitors.
Rhos-on-Sea offers plenty of thrills for anybody interested in history and many famous relics from the thirteenth century can be found there thanks to the city's association with St. Trillo and Llywelyn the Great. The ancient Rhos-on-Sea is perhaps the best example of Colwyn Bay's ability to provide joy to anybody, including those who don't typically have an interest for zoos, piers, and entertainment complexes. One can say many things about Colwyn Bay but it would be quite a task to find somebody who can't find something to enjoy in this idyllic city by the sea.
