This postcard view is of the impressive Conwy Castle as seen across the river Conwy. We went to the Castle and the town in summer of 2023 and the Castle is huge and imposing as you enter the town's bridge. We spent half a day touring the Castle and walking within the town walls.
Magnificent medieval fortress still towers over town after 700 yearsThanks to restored spiral staircases in its great towers you can walk a complete circuit around the battlements of Conwy Castle. We highly recommend it. This is one of the most magnificent medieval fortresses in Europe.In the distance rise the craggy mountains of Snowdonia and spread out below you are the harbour and narrow streets of Conwy – still protected by an unbroken 1,400-yard (1.3km) ring of town walls.It’s enough to take the breath away. Especially when you consider that King Edward I and his architect Master James of St George built both castle and walls in a barely believable four years between 1283 and 1287. (Visit Wales)
