Conway, river, N. Wales; issues from Lake Conway, in the mountainous dist. where the cos. of Merioneth, Denbigh, and Carnarvon meet, and flows NE., NW., and N., forming the boundary between Denbigh and Carnarvon, to Beaumaris Bay; is 30 miles long, and is navigable 10 miles above its mouth for ships of 100 tons. Its upper part abounds in trout; pearl-mussels are found at its mouth. It waters the Vale of Conway, one of the most celebrated portions of Wales, bold and romantic in the higher part above Llanrwst, and in the lower part rich and beautiful.
