Each location chapter starts with an overview describing historical, literary, geological, and natural history features including the photographic potential of a location.
This book provides a unique and charming look at this beautiful town on the north coast of Wales.
Explores the rich and fascinating history of Conwy and around through an examination of some of its greatest architectural treasures.
The story of the town of Conwy in North Wales, from its origin as a monastery founded in an uninhabited location to the present day. Edward I saw the strategic potential of the location, as it controlled the estuary of the Conwy river, so founded a castle, with its associated English settlement. The colourful story includes the betrayal of Richard II, the audacious hijacking of the castle on April Fool's Day 1401, and a Royalist Archbishop who helped the Roundheads in taking the town and castle. Travel and transport are another major theme for the town's history, being a port, and also a vital link for travellers across North Wales, who needed to cross the river. While the castle and the town walls are an obvious attraction, being a World Heritage Site, the medieval Aberconwy House, and the Elizabethan Plas Mawr are also a must for history buffs.
