Conwy Castle was another castle constructed by Longshanks to secure his hold on Wales. The castle was part of the larger construction effort to create the walled town of Conwy.
Conwy was a walled town created by Longshanks for English settlers. For decades after its completion native Welsh were not allowed to enter the town.
Construction began for this castle in 1295. It had stopped, with the castle unfinished, by 1300, due to financial issues and trouble Longshanks was having in Scotland because of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce.
