North Wales castles in 3 days

Edward I's four UNESCO castles (Conwy, Caernarfon, Harlech, Beaumaris) anchor a three-day tour of North Wales, but the more interesting story is the Welsh-built castles that preceded and resisted them: Dolwyddelan, Criccieth, Castell y Bere, and Dolbadarn. A three-day route loops them all from Llandudno.
