Castles
North Wales is famed for the formidable fortresses of Edward I of England, built to subdue a restless land — but the story runs deeper. At Dolwyddelan Castle, stronghold of Llywelyn the Great, the Welsh princes struck back from the mountains of Snowdonia. The ruins of Deganwy Castle echo with even older power, while Gwydir Castle reflects Tudor ambition and refinement. And towering above the estuary, Conwy Castle remains the ultimate symbol of conquest — and resilience.
