The castle was built between 1283 and 1289 during King Edward I’s second campaign in North Wales. It defended the River Conwy and the town’s harbor.

It was fun to climb the turrets of the castle and get a better view of the surrounding area!

The pretty little town of Conwy was defended by the great fortress!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Conwy is a small town with narrow one way streets, and still looks similar to the way it was 700 years ago.

  1. The weather was perfect the day you were there and it makes for beautiful pictures! It’s hard to imagine that this castle, as all the others in the world, are made by hand. Imagine the man-power and time it took to build it! Amazing!

  2. Nice post! Great pictures!

  3. That castle looks awesome!

  4. Al,

    It really is an awesome castle! It has a very scenic view from high up on the walls of the castle, and just walking around the area makes you imagine how neat it would have been to actually live there! Thanks for looking at the pictures!
