North Wales

North Wales fairly bristles with castles. In the 13th century, Edward I of England built an "iron ring of castles" in northern Wales, to keep those rebellious Welsh princes in line. These stone castles, built to withstand seiges, still stand today, and kids can feel the adventures seeping through the crumbling walls.
