Caernarfon Castle

Castles

Wales has more castles than any other country in the world, so let me take you back in time to explore these brooding masterpieces of warfare.

Yes it’s true – Wales has more castles per mile or kilometre than any other country in the world. Exactly how many we had at one time you’ll have to come with me on tour to find out!

We have dozens of wonderful castles for you to explore, those built by our own Welsh princes to others built by the English.  Harlech sitting on a hill overlooking a championship golf course is the first of 4 UNESCO World Heritage Site Castles in North Wales, which are a must for any visitor to Wales to have on your itinerary.  The 2nd and largest of English warrior King Edward 1 built fortress is Caernarfon. Further around the stunning coastline you’ll find Conwy, recently partnered with Himeji castle in Japan.

Last but by no means least is another moated castle and the very last to be built by King Edward – who’d have thought a powerful English King could run out of money!  It happened and he did.  So Beaumaris castle, on the Isle of Anglesey and said to be the most perfect in design ever to be (almost) built, finishes our key castles tour of North Wales.
