Tour the Castles of North Wales
Wales is home to the most magnificent medieval castles on Earth! The "Iron Ring" built by the conquering English King, Edward I in the late 13th Century; Mighty Caernarfon, Towering Conwy, Formidable Harlech and the Masterpiece that is Beaumaris. All of which are World Heritage Sites.
North Wales provides us with some of Europe’s oldest and grandest castles.
Please Note: Tours are only avaiable on a Friday to Monday basis.
Description of the Castle Tour
Arrive at Isfryn cottage Friday Evening after 5pm
Day 1 (Saturday)
Need easy access to the sea? Just straighten the river Clwyd, easy enough when Edward I is the boss with almost 1000 laboorers at hand.
Please note this castle is only open to the public between 1st April and 31st October, though outside these Months we will still include it in our tour as it’s exterior can still be explored and photographed.
The house has a fascinating history, parts of which date back to the fifteenth century, but it was in the 1830’s that the building was remodelled as a castle. You can experience the history of the house and the splendour of the Victorian period rooms, which are brought to life by the free audio guide.
A lasting monument to mans engineering abilities with the natural world as a setting. The rocks of Snowdonia complement the dark grey stones of this key strategic castle, which remarkably went up in only four and a half years.
We will arrive back at Isfryn at approx 4:30pm where the evening is yours to enjoy in which ever way you choose. You may like to consider a leisurely walk around the hill or may be down to the river or over to the village pub for your evening meal.

Perfection comes in many forms, the last of the great Edwardian castles, but left unfinished when money and supplies dried up.
The king of castles in the land of the castles. Masses of passageways and walk ways to discover. Majestic from all angles and simply massive, over 1.2 acres in total. Enough room for 5 Wimbledon centre courts or 1191 table tennis tables.
Built by the English monarch Edward I in the 13 th century as one of the most formidable of his “Iron Ring” of fortresses designed to contain the Welsh in their mountain fastness.
