The castles built at this time are some of the most famous in Wales.

Four of the most complete – Beaumaris, Caernarfon, Conwy, and Harlech – are today designated a World Heritage Site.

Castell Caernarfon

Building began in June 1283. The castle has nine towers and two gatehouses. It had accommodation for the king’s household and family, and acted as the administrative centre for the area.

Castell Harlech

Building began in 1283 during the second campaign. In the summer of 1286, the busiest time during the building of the castle, nearly 950 men were employed – 227 masons, 115 quarriers, 30 smiths, 22 carpenters and 546 labourers. The stone came from quarries in Anglesey, Caernarfon, Egryn and from the site itself.

Castell Conwy

Castell Conwy took four and a half years to complete and cost about £15,000 (over £6m today). Its eight impressive towers dominate the area and overlook the river Conwy, which was used for moving troops and supplies by ship. The town of Conwy has the most complete set of town walls in Wales.

Beaumaris Castle

This was the last of Edward I’s castles to be built in north Wales. Begun in 1295, it is a concentric castle with a water-filled moat as an extra line of defence. Sea-going ships could sail right up to the castle gate.

Ogwen Valley

This photo of Llyn Ogwen shows the stunning ribbon lake nestled in north-west Wales, right in the heart of Snowdonia. It sits gracefully alongside the A5 road, cradled between two dramatic mountain ranges - the Carneddau and the Glyderau. This area, known as the Ogwen Valley, is one of the most scenic and accessible gateways into the Snowdonia range.
