Conwy, North Wales


We drove across North Wales heading for the north coast. Crossing the river Conwy by the famous Conwy Suspension Bridge, we passed the imposing Castle Conwy into the walled town.


The castle was built by King Edward 1st during his conquest of Wales. A wall was built surrounded the town from attack around the same time.




For the next two nights we are staying at the Castle Conwy Hotel. There is a distinctive medieval theme to the hotel. It really is like a castle inside.



Louise feels like a princess in this richly decorated room. The shower is like standing under a waterfall, and the beds are oh so soft. I almost fell asleep writing the blog.


There is a pub downstairs where we had dinner; a mouth watering rump steak for me, and a Welsh Beef Burger for Louise.

That's it for today. The bed is too comfortable, and I'm about to go to sleeeep.........
