A couple of months ago I traveled around the United Kingdom. One of the places I visited was Conwy, Wales; a little beach town on the northern side of the country. It's small but it is packed with history! Most of it is quaint, except for Conwy Castle. It has presided over the town since the 13th century, when it was instructed to be built by Edward I of England. From the castle the old and decrepit (but gorgeous) protection walls expand to surround most of the town. Some pieces of these walls are now missing due to the wear and tear of time but you are still able to walk along the top of the sturdy remaining ones.
If you plan on visiting Conwy in the future I highly recommend you go visit the castle! The views of the surrounding town, water, and bridges are definitely worth the climbs up the steep stairways.

| We walked/hiked up to the top of Conwy Mountain in order to get this view! The sign originally read "Sheer Drop" at the bottom but someone changed it to "Sheep Drop," so funny. |
Another place in Conwy that is worth visiting (that I unfortunately did not get a good picture of) is "The Smallest House in Great Britain." It's adorable!
PS: I apologize for this post being so darn late.
