Conwy remains one of Wales's most beautifully preserved castles, although the preference stated here lies with another site. A steam train crossing the bridge beside the towers brings medieval masonry and industrial power into the same view. The train also makes the castle's dense silhouette easier to read: a sea of towers rather than a flat curtain wall. The recommendation to visit brings the plans, logistics, and defenses back to the surviving landscape.
