 Caernarfon Castle |
Caernarfon, meaning 'a fort in Arfon', is dominated by its castle situated on the bank of the River Seiont overlooking the Menai Straits. The castle was built by Edward the 1st in the 13th century and has served as a medieval royal palace hosting the Investitures of two Princes of Wales, the latter being Prince Charles in 1969. |

Caernarfon is a walled town full of Royal history dating to the Roman era at the Segontium Roman Museum which was occupied from AD78 for nearly 400 years and illustrates how far the Roman armies penetrated into Wales. Nautical history is told at Seiont II Maritime Museum situated at Victoria Dock. For those steam train enthusiasts, an exciting railway project, the Welsh Highland Railway, will take you on a steam train experience, departing from near the castle and taking you on a 7 mile journey. |
