Conwy Castle by night

There are castles in every other town in North Wales - all built in the 13th century by King Edward I as his attempt to quell the rebellious Welsh. Materials and workers were imported from England at vast expense to build these castles.
Conwy Castle forms part of the fortifications that surround the town. Edward settled the town with English people who lived within the walls of the town. The castle guards the mouth of the Conwy River.

Needless to say, while Edward had a short term victory, we Welsh are still rebellious :lol:

I'll post some more castle pictures soon, but here's a night shot I took of Conwy Castle.

That’s what I like to see John, a great pic of a 13th century residential English home :wink: Did you get any pics of the Welsh huts :?: 8)

Looks a bit drafty, but I'd love to stay there a night or two.
