Conwy Castle
The castle was built between 1277 and 1307 and can be regarded as one of the more majestic Welsh forts built by Edward I. The castle stands on a rugged rock overlooking the estuary National Park. Exploring every corner of the castle is a very unforgettable experience, and the cramped stairs are difficult to walk, but they are not meaningful. Standing on the battlements, you can not only see the magnificent and complex construction process of Conwy Castle, but also look at the vast bay and the scattered towns of Conwy, and the photos taken are particularly beautiful.United Kingdom · Conwy
Caernarfon Castle
Caernarfon Castle is located in the center of Caernarfon and is a famous castle in northern Wales. Influenced by the architectural style of the Eastern Roman Empire, the towers of Caernarfon Castle are polygonal rather than round, and the walls feature distinctive geometric patterns. The castle is grand in scale, with passages connecting the various towers, and crisscrossing passages within the individual towers themselves, making it quite interesting to explore. Inside some of the towers, you can watch films documenting the castle's history and view various exhibits, such as the campaigns of Edward I to conquer Wales, the 1969 investiture of Prince Charles as the Prince of Wales, and imperial military medals.Caernarfon · 40.5km from Conwy

Great Orme Country Park
Great Orme Country Park is a limestone headland on the North Wales coast, not only boasting magnificent scenery, a wide variety of wildlife, and Neolithic remains, but also designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its unique geological features. The park features a visitor center and has three clearly marked walking trails, among which the Haulfre Gardens Trails is one of the easier ones. Visitors can hike to the summit or take the Great Orme Tramway to explore. This tramway was built during the Victorian era and departs from Church Walks, running approximately every 20 minutes. In addition, taking the cable car is also a highly recommended experience. As one of the longest cable cars in the UK, it departs from Happy Valley Garden above the pier and operates subject to weather conditions.United Kingdom · Llandudno

National Trust - Penrhyn Castle & Garden
Penrhyn Castle is located in the small seaside town of Bongo and was built in the early 19th century. Although it is called a "castle", it is not a military fortress, but a noble residence. The early owners were the Pennant family. The castle is divided into two floors, the first floor includes the living room, dining room and study, and the second floor is the master's bedroom, bathroom and chapel, which are warmly and beautifully decorated. In addition to Norman-style furniture, there are many famous paintings in the castle, and the 60-acre large garden is also a highlight.Llandygai · 25.6km from Conwy

【View】An impressive and magnificent castle. During our visit, access to some areas was restricted due to ongoing restoration work, but this did not diminish our enjoyment of the site. There is a museum within the castle with several layers of Welsh and British history. Also interesting is an 8-minute film about the history of the castle, which is a fantastic addition to your overall experience. Large paid parking lot behind the castle, with ample parking and free toilets nearby

This is a family private property, and the building area of the entire garden is very large. You can also see a lot of good things in the garden. It is a very good choice to visit here. Many of the contents are also worthy of attention.
