Wales - Conwy
Conwy is a walled market town and community in Conwy County Borough on the north coast of Wales with an imposing thirteenth-century castle. Conwy’s medieval walls are some of the best preserved in the world.
Conwy Castle is a fortification in Conwy, located in North Wales. It was built by Edward I, during his conquest of Wales, between 1283 and 1289 constructed as part of a wider project to create the walled town of Conwy. Over the next few centuries, the castle played an important part in several wars. UNESCO considers Conwy to be one of ' the finest examples of late 13th century and early 14th century military architecture in Europe' , and it is classed as a World Heritage site. The rectangular castle is built from local and imported stone and occupies a coastal ridge, originally overlooking an important crossing point over the River Conwy. Divided into an Inner and an Outer Ward, it is defended by eight large towers and two barbicans, with a postern gate leading down to the river, allowing the castle to be resupplied from the sea.
