CONWY: is located in the North of Wales, at the mouth of the Conwy (Conway) River. It is a small county on the Irish sea. Conwy itself is a picturesque tourist town with several notable old structures. A high wall dating from the 13th century, encloses the old town and a church and castle from the same era also remain. Conwy castle is a gritty, dark stoned fortress that evokes a truly authentic medieval atmosphere. On a commanding a rock above the Conwy Estuary and demanding as much attention as the dramatic Snowdonia skyline behind it, they know they are in the presence of a historic site. It was constructed by the English monarch Edward I between 1283 and 1289 as one of the key fortresses in his 'iron ring' of castles to contain the Welsh. A distinguished historian wrote of Conwy, 'Taken as a whole, Conwy's incomparably the most magnificent of Edward I's Welsh fortresses'. The views from the battlements are breathtaking, looking out across mountains and sea and down to the roofless shell of the castles 125ft Great Hall.
