Two things: We realize that earlier we said we would be visiting Caernarfon castle but unfortunately traffic on the motorways meant we had to make a contingency plan for our castle visit or miss the ferry to Ireland. As luck had it, we were close enough to a number of Northern Welsh castles that it was a fairly easy and timely substitute. It would be Conwy.
Secondly, it's spelled just like that, Conwy, with one vowel less than you'd expect. (The Welsh like their consonants...)
Built in the early 13th century, Conwy castle is a model of medieval architecture featuring all those cool things we learn about in SS8 like merlons, crenelations, port cullis, barbicanes, arrow loops and so on.
