Castle Coch

Castle Coch, on the outskirts of Cardiff, is the ultimate fairytale castle. It’s conical towers and needle-sharp turrets peek out from a wooded slope, presenting a vision more in tune with the Bavarian countryside, the pages of Sleeping Beauty, or even the Studios of Walt Disney than a Welsh hillside.  It is, of course, a romantic fantasy, a late 19th century creation, inspired by the spirit of the Victorian Age.

Caernarfon Castle

Caernarvon, built by Edward I around 1283, is architecturally one of the most impressive of all of the castles in Wales. It's defensive capabilities were not as overt or as powerful as those of Edward I's other castles such as Harlech and Beaumaris (which indicate the pinnacle of castle building and defenses in Britain), but Caernarvon was instead intended as a seat of power - and as a symbol of English dominance over the subdued Welsh. Since around the time the Prince of Wales (today, it's Charles) has been crowned in this castle.

Caernarvon is located at the southern end of the Menai Strait between north Wales and Anglesey, 8 miles south west of Bangor.

Conwy Castle

It stands at the front of the River Conwy in Conwy North Wales. The castle was constructed during the time of King Edward I of England as share of his ‘iron ring’ to enclose the Welsh uprisings from the mountains of Snowdonia. Conwy Castle was built on a natural rock formation giving it fine height over the nearby town and the castle consists of six towers enclosing the curtain wall.
