Conwy Castle, Wales, United Kingdom
Set sail through time when visiting the Conwy Castle, in Wales, United Kingdom, overlooking the Conwy River where the Conwy River Festival is held. It was built between 1283 and 1287 by King Edward I during his conquest of Wales and designed by James of St. George, known as one of the greatest architects of the European Middle Ages. The castle is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The river below, the Conwy, is 55 kilometres long and gets its name from the Welsh words 'cyn' (chief) and 'gwy' (water). Conwy Castle and the river are a timeless tribute to Wales's rich and turbulent past.
