Holidays in Caernarfon

The most famous part of Caernarfon is, of course, its iconic Caernarfon Castle which attracts thousands of visitors every year. The UNESCO World Heritage Site was built under the command of King Edward I in the 13th century and is still an impressive site over seven hundred years on. Caernarfon itself is a thriving market town and its recently redeveloped waterfront offers wonderful views of the Menai Bridge stretching over the Menai Strait towards Anglesey.
