VIII. The Town and Castle of Conway
Conway occupies a position of great natural strength and, from a medieval standpoint, of great military importance. It is defended on the one side by the River Conway, here a wide estuary, on the other by the mountains of Snowdonia; and in the middle ages it commanded the road from England into the Welsh strongholds of Gwynedd.

X.— The Round Castles of Cornwall
Following on the Norman Conquest, large estates in Cornwall and Devon were bestowed by William on Robert of Mortain, his half-brother, and on Judhel, one of his followers.

It is bisected by a range of chalk hills which stretch across the isle from east to west and attain a height at one point of over 6…
