Caernarfon Castle Caernarfon was also built by Edward I in 1283 to dominate Wales. The castle is on the left, and part of the wall that surrounded the old city are visible on the right. Prince Charles was vested as the Prince of Wales here in 1969. Both images ©1990, Jeffrey L. Cooper |

| Conwy Castle And finally, yet another castle begun by Edward I in 1283. It is located very close to the other castles, Beaumaris and Caernarfon being less than a 30-minute drive away. ©1990, Jeffrey L. Cooper |
