North Wales.<br /> <br /> The Bigger Picture, Conwy. Coordinates....Latitude: 53.2950, Longitude: -3.8330<br /> <br /> Conwy Castle was twinned with Himeji Castle, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan at a formal ceremony in Himeji on 29 October 2019.<br /> <br /> Conwy Castle is a fortification in Conwy, located in North Wales. It was built by Edward I, during his conquest of Wales, between 1283 and 1287. Constructed as part of a wider project to create the walled town of Conwy, the combined defences cost around £15,000, a massive sum for the period. Over the next few centuries, the castle played an important part in several wars. It withstood the siege of Madog ap Llywelyn in the winter of 1294–95, acted as a temporary haven for Richard II in 1399 and was held for several months by forces loyal to Owain Glyndŵr in 1401.<br /> <br /> Architecture<br /> <br /> The castle hugs a rocky coastal ridge of grey sandstone and limestone, and much of the stone from the castle is largely taken from the ridge itself, probably when the site was first cleared. The local stone was not of sufficient quality to be used for carving details such as windows, however, and accordingly sandstone was brought in from the Creuddyn peninsula, Chester and the Wirral. This sandstone was more colourful than the local grey stone, and was probably deliberately chosen for its appearance.<br /> <br /> The main entrance to the castle is through the western barbican, an exterior defence in front of the main gate. When first built, the barbican was reached over a drawbridge and a masonry ramp that came up sharply from the town below; the modern path cuts east along the outside of the walls. The barbican features the earliest surviving stone machicolations in Britain, and the gate would originally have been protected by a portcullis.<br /> <br /> Click the pic to Explore ❤️</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/gazkinz/">Gary Kinsman</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/gazkinz/55273034722/" title="Weathered Towers"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55273034722_e4e5512c63_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Weathered Towers" /></a></p> <p>Conwy<br /> <br /> Fujifilm Reala 500D (expired)<br /> Shot at 320<br /> Canon EOS 30<br /> Canon 50mm f/1.8</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/126612220@N04/">johnwebb292</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/126612220@N04/55273832539/" title="WESTER HAILES 57314 CONWY CASTLE"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55273832539_854eb1947f_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="WESTER HAILES 57314 CONWY CASTLE" /></a></p> <p>SHOT AT WESTER HAILES STATION 16/05/2026.
