Conway

Conway, a river in North Wales, famous for the bold romantic scenery along its higher, as well as for the richly beautiful scenery along its lower course. It rises in a small mountain-lake round which meet the three counties of Merioneth, Denbigh, and Carnarvon; and it runs 30 miles northward past Llanrwst and Conway to Beaumaris Bay. In its last ten miles, a smoothly-flowing if winding stream, it is navigable for vessels of 100 tons. At Conway it is half a mile broad at spring-tides, which rise here from 21 to 24 feet. Pearl-mussels are found at its mouth.
