A north Wales constituency taking in a section of the coast and a sizeable rural hinterland.
Its biggest town is the seaside resort of Llandudno which is the birthplace of Wales's most-capped footballer Neville Southall. The magnificent Conwy castle was built for Edward I in the 13th century and is now one of the area's main tourist attractions. The over-65s make up 24.2% of the population, the second-highest proportion of any Welsh constituency.
