Castles of King Edward I - Northwest Wales 

First part of a collection of visits to some notable castles in the picturesque landscape of Northwest Wales. The castles were usually built close to the coast for easy supply purposes and upon prominent rocky outcrops giving panaramic views over the coastline. Smaller castles existed inland that were built by the Welsh Princes and subsequently taken over, decommisioned or expanded by King Edward I. Most castles in this area are maintained by CADW, the Welsh Historic Monuments Service and are well worth visiting.
