What is recorded here

The River Conwy from Deganwy Castle hill is a castle, fort or tower in Conwy, Wales. Perhaps the castle watched the river bend like a guardrail for passing ships. Maybe the hill held lanterns that marked the water at night. Imagine the conwy river carrying light and shadow past the fort.
