Attractions / Activities
Caernarfon Castle
Attraction
A brute of a fortress. Caernarfon Castle’s pumped-up appearance is unashamedly muscle-bound and intimidating. Picking a fight with this massive structure would have been a daunting prospect.
Castell y Bere
Attraction
Distinctive remains of a native Welsh castle, probably begun by Prince Llywelyn ab Iorwerth ('the Great') around 1221. Castell y Bere was a remote outpost on Llywelyn’s southern frontier, but it was vital to his security.
Conwy Castle
Attraction
Built for Edward I, by Master James of St George, Conwy Castle is amongst the finest surviving medieval fortifications in Britain.
Conwy Valley Railway
Attraction
Part of the National Rail Network, Conwy Valley Railway takes the passenger through 27 miles of some of the most spectacular scenery in Snowdonia, from Llandudno to Blaenau Ffestiniog.
Criccieth Castle
Attraction
It is a landmark site, a true testament to the varying fortunes of war. What a picture, what a view! Perched on a headland with the sea as its constant bedfellow. Its twin-towered gatehouse intimidates prospective attackers.
Dolbadarn Castle
Attraction
Probably built by Llywelyn ab Iorwerth ('the Great') early in the thirteenth century, the castle is dominated by a massive round-towered keep, still standing up to 50 feet (15.2m) high.
