Conwy (Conway), Wales

From Keswick we turned down to Conwy, the fortified city on the northern coast of Wales. Conwy was built by Edward I, who conquered much of Wales during the 13th century. Conwy was one of his most important castles, the town around which is surrounded by stone walls 100 feet high and 10 feet thick, which have to this day been maintained, guarded by 22 towers. We stayed for a few days in Conwy (also written Conway) before heading back to west London.
