Description

The milepost on the Abergele-Conway Road likely dates from the 1760s when the road was turnpiked. It is made of stone with a rounded head and features an inscribed, tooled surface that reads "To Abergele 7 miles. To Conway 4 miles 6 furlongs."

Local climate

Milepost sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,050 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 85% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 70% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 31 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 63% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
