Explore wonderful castles of Wales

Wales is one of the world's greatest countries for castles in Europe.

Therefore, it won't be hard for you to explore Wales' wonderful castles. However, these are 2 of the best castles to visit in all of Wales that you would not want to miss.

Caerphilly Castle

Caerphilly Castle, the second-biggest castle in Britain and the largest in Wales, was surrounded by water defenses when the English built it in the thirteenth century. Four siege engines can be seen outside among other delights, and the inside has a revered, regal atmosphere. Climb to the top of the enormous east gatehouse to witness the stone rings and water defenses that gave Caerphilly its majestic appearance. Watch out for the southeast tower, which is likely the most well-known aspect of the castle and is Wales' very own Leaning Tower, wonkier even than that of Pisa.

Conwy Castle

Conwy Castle is considered one of the most spectacular medieval strongholds in all of Europe. The 1.3-kilometer ring of town walls around the castle is designated as a World Heritage Site. The most complete collection of medieval royal chambers in Wales can be found in this extraordinary castle, which was constructed in an astounding four years between 1283 and 1287.
