Conwy castle is a gritty, dark stoned fortress which has the rare ability to evoke an authentic medieval atmosphere. The first time that visitors catch sight of the castle, commanding a rock above the Conwy Estuary and demanding as much attention as the dramatic Snowdonia skyline behind it, they know they are in the presence of a historic site which still casts a powerful spell.

The 14-arch bridge in Stratford – the name means "the street at the ford on the river" – was built around 1490, financed by Hugh Clopton, merchant and Lord Mayor of London. In 1483, Clopton also built the house known as New Place, in Chapel Street, Shakespeare’s final residence, which he bought in 1597 and lived in from 1610 until his death in 1616. At that time, it was the second largest house in Stratford and the only one made of brick.
