This is a "blast from the past" post when I still had my blog but did not post a lot on it. Nearly fifteen years ago in June, I visited the village of Conwy in Wales. My parents and cousin had come to visit, and it was the first time that my parents visited Europe. I'd planned a "grand tour" with them around the country, and the town of Conwy in northern Wales was one of our stops. Conwy Castle is one of the most beautiful castles that I have been to. This trip brings back fond memories; we had beautiful weather and sunsets. Conwy Castle is a medieval castle dating from the late 1200s.
We had visited Caernafron Castle (see my post about Caernafron Castle here) and Anglesey the previous day after driving from Bulith Wells. We arrived at Conwy in the early evening where we had a meal and a brief walk down to the seafront to get photographs of the castle.
While walking up to the bridge over the harbour, we were welcomed with the most beautiful sunset reflecting on the water with several sailboats in the middle of the harbour.
We stayed at a bed and breakfast in the middle of Conwy. We got up the next morning to tour the castle, climbing the towers and enjoying the views.
Conwy Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage site; according to UNESCO, it is one of the finest examples of a 13th/14th century castle. I would love to go back to visit Conwy Castle. Times have changed a lot since my first visit, and I am not sure if it would bring back the same feelings and atmosphere on that first visit.
