Britain’s Smallest House

　　If you’re heading to Wales, you absolutely can’t miss the chance to snap a photo in front of Britain’s tiniest house. Also known as the Quay House, Britain’s smallest house is located at Conway Harbour, the main town of Conwy County Borough in Wales, and is a highly popular tourist attraction.

　　This small red-colored cottage sits next to Conway Castle. The interior measures just 3.05 meters by 1.8 meters, with a height of 10 feet 2 inches. As its name suggests, it is famous for being the smallest house in Britain. From the 16th century until around 1900, the house was home to a 6-foot-3-inch-tall fisherman named Robert Jones. The house was simply too small for Jones to stand up in, and after the local council declared it unfit for human habitation, he eventually moved out. However, descendants of Jones still own the property.

　　Visitors can enter the house for £1 (50p for children) to take a look around. Inside, there is information about the house’s history, and a Welsh woman in traditional dress is often stationed at the door. The upstairs space is extremely cramped, with just enough room for a bed and a bedside table. Due to the structural stability of the house, visitors cannot go upstairs but can view the upper level from the ladder.
