Conwy was built during the reign of Edward I between 1283 and 1289 as part of the 'iron ring' of castles to contain the Welsh. The strength of the castle was its rough stone ediface high on a rock guarding the Conwy estuary.
I have seen an estimate that Conwy Castle cost 15,000 pounds to build. At the time, a cottage rented for 5 shillings per year, and a master craftsman's house rented for 20 shillings, or one pound, for a year.
it had draw bridges and cannons
Dover castle is a concentric castle so it has two walls, it also has a dry ditch, drawbridge, towers and a wall walk. Please add to this
Owain Glyndwr was a distant cousin to the Tudord of Penmynnedd in Anglesey, both Rhys and Gwylym Tudor captured Conwy castle on behalf of Owain in the early stages of the war for Independence
It is built on a sandstone bluff at a bend of the River Avon, which has eroded the rock the castle stands on, forming a cliff. The river and cliff form natural defenses which protect the castle. This is why the site was chosen.
