Eryri's Ancient Heritage
This collection spans millennia of human history in North Wales, from Neolithic burial chambers at Dyffryn Ardudwy to the military precision of Roman forts like Caer Gai. It highlights the architectural contrast between native Welsh strongholds, such as Dolbadarn and Castell y Bere, and the imposing UNESCO-listed fortresses of Edward I at Conwy and Harlech.
