Thursday 10th July: This castle can be seen from our B&B breakfast room, it sits on the edge of a cliff and can be seen from miles around. It is one of 4 world heritage protected mediaeval castles in Wales. Its so steep that you nearly slide down the narrow roads in you car! We also had to go 3 miles out of town to find a place to turnaround. Its vert Welsh, and the local castle tourist shop is one of few that stays open after 5pm. They also spoke Cymraeg in the shop. Hywl Fawr for now!

Castell Conwy
Tuesday 8th July: We enjoyed exploring the castle and the mediaeval walled town at Conwy. The wall almost completely surrounds the town and you can walk on top of most of it for no cost as well. The castle is amazingly good condition for something over 700 years old. This picture was taken at about 5pm, we ate fish and chips on the quay below later on. The views are fantastic from the very top of the towers, but you do need a good head for heights!
