What To Expect

Conwy

Conwy Castle is a historic fortress located in the town of Conwy, in North Wales, UK. Built between 1283 and 1289 by Edward I during his conquest of Wales, it is considered one of the most impressive and best-preserved medieval castles in the UK. The castle forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage site that includes several other castles built by Edward I in North Wales. Key Features: 1. Defensive Design: The castle has a massive curtain wall with eight towers and is designed to withstand both sieges and attacks. Its position, overlooking the River Conwy, made it strategically important for controlling the area. 2. Walls and Gates: The walls are remarkably intact, and visitors can walk along them for fantastic views of the surrounding area. The castle features a series of gates, including the East Gate, West Gate, and Water Gate.
