Wales boasts a stunning array of castles, the most per square mile of any country in Europe, from the earliest stone fortifications at Chepstow to the 19th-century folly of Castell Coch and from the splendour of Caernarfon, Beaumaris, Conwy and Harlech, recognised as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, to the spectacular ruins of Carreg Cennen. This commemoration of a nation’s architectural heritage tells the story of thirty-seven of these remarkable achievements.

Rhodri Owen has worked in journalism, PR and online production for the BBC, as a journalist for the Western Mail and the Wales On Sunday newspapers and as a freelance editor for a number of Wales-based publishers. His popular pocketbook titles published by Graffeg include Castles of Wales, Coast Wales and Mountain Wales.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely book

I bought this for my friend, who I have just been on holiday in North Wales with. She loves castles and we were able to visit Conwy, Beaumaris and Caernarfon castles. The book has lovely photos and is very informative. My friend loves it.
