You can't miss the impressive medieval fortress known as Conwy Castle.
I took this short video to provide an overview of this magnificent World Heritage Site built more than 700 years ago.
The castle was ordered by King Edward I and the building was under the direction of architect Master James of St George.
The views inside and outside are incredible. There are eight high towers.
The depth is hard to capture in a photo.

After we explored the castle, we walked around the town of Conwy and down by the beach.
