Castle Run in North Wales

4th January 2006

Here are photos Ken and I took in North Wales not long ago. It was a gorgeous sunny day and boy! was it nice to get out in that sun after being cooped up in the dreary overcast weather. What can I say? I live in England! smile

Anyway, we went on a castle-run and took these photos of 4 castles and the towns. There are so many castle ruins in Wales, well, in the UK, for that matter. They are so interesting! The history is just awesome! All these 4 castles were built in the 11th century by King Edward I. There are many more in N Wales that he had built also. Think about how long ago that was, blows my mind!!! I hope you all enjoy these and if you have any questions, feel free. Descriptions are below each photo.
