CONWY CASTLEBy: Josh N.
Conway castle is located in Conway, Wales . It was built by Edward the first, during his conquest of Wales in 1283-1289. It’s amongst the finest surviving medieval fortifications in Great Britian. It occupies a coastal ridge, originally overlooking an important crossing point over the River Conway.
The castle was built from local and imported stone by James of St. George. It did not fight a lot during the War of the Roses 1455 - 1485
