Exploring A Medieval Fortress - Conwy Castle

29 min • 19 oktober 2022

There is a photo essay to accompany this episode here

Conwy castle in Wales in one of Europe's most spectacular medieval castles. Built in the 1280s by Edward I the castle has withstood sieges and the ravages of time. On Sat October 8th I organised a supporters trip to the castle. Early the following morning, as the sun rose over the medieval town I recorded this episode. Using the acoustics of the castle and the walls I explain the history, what the castle looks like today and how its elaborate and lethal defences worked in the middle ages.

Deadly stuff in all meanings of the word!
