A couple of weekends ago, I spent my time visiting Conwy in North Wales - and today, I'd like to share a few of my pictures.
Conwy is a fantastic walled town in Caernarfonshire, in the upper parts of Wales. One of it's big attractions is Conwy Castle itself, built by
Edward I back in the 1200's.
But more interesting to me is the fact that Conwy is a walled town, meaning it's entirely enclosed within a wall -- a little like
York.
You can actually walk up and almost all the way around the wall, as I did....
And hide in it's many little caves, just for fun...
But you must remember, dear American readers --
as I've explained before, although Wales is in the United Kingdom, it's actually a different country to England.
That means all of the signs are in two languages: English and Welsh...
And after walking the wall and eating the finest fish and chips in the world, what's to do next?
Alas, Conwy isn't known for its nightlife.Instead, why not visit the
Smallest House in Britain?
I tried. But it was closed.
Pound-for-pound, Conwy has more ghosts than any other town in the UK -- and I think, when staring at the castle, I might have just seen a few.
That's all from me. If you're heading around Wales any time soon, try stopping by
Conwy. It's small, it's friendly - and within a couple of hours, you'll feel you've lived there all your life.
Have a great day! :)Labels: language, pictures, recommendations, travels
