Conwy, The Castle And Bridge 1890

More about this scene
We are looking across the estuary towards the inner ward. The picture gives us an idea of just how steep the ridge is upon which the castle is built. The slope of the rock on the south side was such that it would have been impossible to mount an assault from that direction using battering rams or siege towers. Also, the curtain wall was too high for the scaling ladders of the day.
