Castles of Wales

Description

Mae Cymru yn llawn o greiriau rhyfel, yn gaerau Oes Haearn, adfeilion Rhufeinig, cestyll canoloesol a cheyrydd arfordirol diweddarach. Digwyddodd y prif adeiladu o ran amddiffynfeydd yn yn ystod teyrnasiad y brenin Edward 1af, sef cestyll a godwyd, nid yn unig i atal ymosodiad gan oresgynnwr, ond i reoli gwrthryfela aml gan y Cymry.
Wales, a small country, is littered with the relics of war – Iron Age forts, Roman ruins, medieval castles and the coastal forts of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The biggest construction of fortifications in Wales took place during the reign of Edward I. They were not only built to deter an invader, but to control the frequent Welsh uprisings.
