In addition to the castles you show, this ring of iron of Edward I Royal castles also includes Flint, Conwy and Aberystwyth. Furthermore, the English stranglehold on the Welsh was further increased by his barons’ castles built at Holt, Chirk, Ruthin, Denbigh etc and strengthening of captured Welsh castles like Criccieth and Caergwrle. Truly a massive feat of mobilizing English resources and wealth.
The grandeur of them all! They need to be preserved, and governments should pay for it. Otherwise give back all the lands and wealth that goes with them. Let not one walk away with the ill gotten gains.
if these castles are so important ........ how come ..... they are in need of roofs and floors and windows.... plenty of student stone masons need to learn on something ..... why not these ... and what is with the plants growing in the walls of the first one .... plant roots will bring these walls down ..... quick smart

Very nice video, beautiful castle!
I loved hearing the sheep bellowing in the background.
I remember visiting Beaumaris approx 35-40 years ago and we saw a whopping eel in the moat. It was a massive specimen.
Nice video- peaceful and good weather. Looking forward to next instalments
Surprising just how much of these castles remain. Lovely.
I found it helpful to listen to The Lost Tapes of History podcast - ep 9 is Edward I and the Insurance Agent!
Well, now I know where I want to go.
Not criticizing the video because I enjoyed it, but I wish somehow we could also see what it looked like before it was in Ruins.
