Conwy has a well preserved town wall which surrounds the old town. It was built by Edward I in four years from 1283 to 1287. It is interesting to note that the English invaders lived inside the wall while the Welsh outside. The Welsh were not allowed to enter.
We started our walk at the Upper Gate
Edward I did not build this modern spiral staircase as part of the wall
The wall is 1.3 km long
The highest part of the wall is 9 m
