City Wall and Gate

City Wall and Gate

On our first night in Conwy we took a walk around the top of the city wall.
Conwys town walls are a medieval defensive structure around the town. The walls were constructed between 1283 and 1287 after the foundation of Conwy by Edward I, and were designed to form an integrated system of defence alongside Conwy Castle. The walls are 0.81 mi long and include 21 towers and three gatehouses. Not all of the wall is safe to walk on and portions are closed.
