Conwy Castle

“We had a brilliant morning exploring Conwy Castle and would definitely recommend a visit. The admission price felt very fair for such an impressive and well-preserved historic site. We were genuinely surprised by how much bigger the castle was than we expected, with plenty of towers, walls and walkways to explore. Climbing to the top was a real highlight. The views over Conwy, the harbour, the surrounding countryside and across to the mountains were absolutely stunning and well worth the effort. There are lots of opportunities to stop, take in the scenery and get some great photos. The only slight downside was the number of seagulls and pigeons around the castle, especially in some of the higher areas, but they certainly didn't spoil the experience. Overall, it was a fantastic morning out and a great way to learn a little history while enjoying some incredible views. We'd happily visit again and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting North Wales.”

“Honestly, Conwy has just the best example of a medieval castle. It's astonishing. Extremely well preserved, easy to navigate and a decent surface under foot. The Walls are brilliant to walk on and afford you some of the best views of the surrounding area. The towers each have spiral staircases leading up and all of them have open access at the top. The Castle itself is a feat of engineering and leaves you under no illusion as to what this place was intended for. Grandeur and oppulence - a place fit for a king. The fortifications are huge and ever so impressive - it really is an awesome inspiring place. Reasonably priced too. For a family of four - just over £40. Conwy is a nice place too so have a mooch around. The harbour area is lovely.”

“Stunning well preserved castle built by E the 1 st between 1283 and 1287 to establish English dominance in the area. Car park adjacent to the castle is your best bet, make sure to arrive before 11 am because it fills up fast . The castle itself is pretty much intact , many towers to climb , walls to patrol and secrets to explore . Just impressive! Allow yourself between 1-2 hours if you are able bodied and not under the constraint of a tour . The gift shop on site is pretty good and the toilets are very modern and clean . The surrounding town walls which extend beyond the castle despite being part of it are not connected and are free to roam at your leisure.”
