Book Conwy Castle tickets and uncover some Welsh history

Looking for historical things to do in Conwy?

Enjoy a wonderful walk around the high arched, medieval structures at Conwy's town walls before making your way to the castle.

Smell the greenery around you as you get closer to the historic building, and see the dust clinging to the stone as you reach out and touch the limestone walls.

A great selection for Conwy Castle, this choice of stone may well be one of the reasons why the structure still proudly stands today.

This is one of the most beautiful medieval fortresses in Europe.

Believe it or not, this enormous place took only four years to build as both the castle and the walls were constructed between 1283 and 1287.

We'd recommend trying to reach the towers via the spiral staircases.

This'll give you the chance to wander a whole circuit around the 700-year-old towers of Conwy Castle, where you'll enjoy stunning views over the town.

Discover the magical spot where another castle once stood

Want to see another magical castle? The area of Conwy Castle used to be ruled by a monastery and palace that one of the Welsh princes owned.

Just across the other side of the River Conwy, the remains of the ancient Deganwy Castle can be found. This was demolished when King Edward I invaded and built Conwy Castle instead.

Walk in the footsteps of legendary Welsh princes as you stand where the castle once stood. Hear the sea birds calling nearby as you enjoy the view of the glorious bay.

Fall in love with this delightful building and get ready to step back in time as the whole family can dress up in costumes or join in with one of the demonstrations of the dances from the 15th century.

As you walk around, you'll find yourself appreciating the authentic furnishings.

Admire the detailed designs that tell a fascinating story, and all the painted heraldic emblems and fanciful figures. Will you spot all the severed heads?
