Fix this textTHE MARK OF A STORMY PAST IS LEFT ON CONWAY'S ANCIENT WALLS
Fix this textFOR over six hundred years the towers and walls of Conway Castle have
Fix this textstood beside the River Conway in North Wales. The castle’s picturesque
Fix this textlocation, reflected in the quiet waters of the estuary, has contributed to its
Fix this textair of calm serenity and has tempted artists of succeeding generations to
Fix this textportray its imposing beauty. . .
Fix this textConway owes its origin to Edward I (1272-1307), whose policy in
Fix this textsubiueatine Wales was to establish a line of fortresses across the country.
Fix this textIn 1277 he built Flint and Rhuddlan Castles, followed in 1282 by Conway
Fix this textand Caernarvon as he pushed further westwards to establish his authority
Fix this textover North Wales.
Fix this textThe castle stands on a high rock which was originally occupied by a
Fix this textWelsh fort. The walls are from twelve to fifteen feet thick and are flanked
Fix this textby eight vast circular towers. Built in the shape of an irregular oblong,
Fix this textthree hundred feet in length, it is washed by tidal water on two sides and
Fix this textone third of the fortress stands within the town defences. Much of this
Fix this textfortification remains today, giving to Conway the reputation of being the
Fix this textfinest example of a medieval walled town in Britain.
Fix this textEntrance to the castle was gained by a drawbridge over a deep moat
Fix this textand through a portcullised gateway which could be easily defen deri. v
Fix this textfeatures within the castle are the State apartments and the thirteenth-centu y
Fix this textoratory built for Queen Eleanor.
Fix this textConway’s history began in 1294 when King Edward I was besieged there
Fix this textduring a Welsh rising which was due to the first attempt at direct taxation
Fix this textfor the French wars. The defenders of the castle were almost reduced lo
Fix this textfamine before they were relieved by the arrival of a fleet with provisions.
Fix this textIt was in Conway that Richard II signed his abdication and the castle
Fix this textwas again besieged in the Glendower Rebellion of 1401. During the-Civil
Fix this textWar it was garrisoned for King Charles but surrendered in 1646. Later the
Fix this textfortress came into the possession of the Earl of Conway, who removed most
Fix this textof the lead and timber from its roof and interior for use in Ireland but the
Fix this textvessel in which this material was being conveyed was wrecked and all the
Fix this textproperty was lost.
Fix this textThe graceful suspension bridge which crosses the river opposite the castle
Fix this textwas designed by Telford to harmonise with the walls of this ancient fortress.
