The Defences
Caernarfon Castle in Gwynedd is the mightiest and most impressive
of a string of majestic castles which Edward I built after his
conquest of North Wales in 1283. An enormous fortress-palace
by the sea, it has good claim to be one of the most important
castles in the UK. It is the product not only of Edward's military
genius, but also of the king's ambition to be like the legendary
King Arthur - the mythical ruler of a united island of Britain.
One of the most interesting defensive features of the castle are the
multiple arrow slits in the walls, flanking all approaches at various
levels.
