What is recorded here
Castell Deganwy Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Conwy, Wales. Perhaps its stones still hold the shape of hands that built them. Maybe the wind carries voices from rooms that no longer have walls. Imagine standing inside the ruin, listening for the heartbeat of every person who ever touched it.
