Perhaps the most iconic landmark in Caernarfon, this UNESCO World Heritage site is an exemplary medieval fortress. Built by King Edward I in the 13th century, the castle's majestic walls and towers are designed to echo the walls of Constantinople. The castle also houses the Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum and provides a rich insight into the history of the regiment. Visitors can explore the ramparts, towers, and enjoy panoramic views of the town and the Menai Strait.

For a dive into ancient history, Segontium, founded by the Romans in AD 77, is a must-visit. Although largely ruins, the site’s museum showcases artifacts that illustrate the lives of Roman soldiers stationed here over a millennium ago. It’s an evocative spot that speaks to Caernarfon's long-standing strategic importance.

A walk along the well-preserved medieval town walls is a journey back in time. Stretching over 800 meters, the walls encircle the old town and are punctuated by eight towers and two gateways, offering visitors a glimpse into the town’s medieval defenses. Walking the walls provides a unique perspective on the town and the castle.

Ideal for families, Gypsy Wood Park is an enchanting outdoor attraction that combines wildlife, fairy-tale magic, and adventure play areas. Spread over 20 acres, the park is home to a variety of animals, nature trails, and miniature railways, making it perfect for a day out with children.

Caernarfon is not just about its castle or ancient history; the town itself is a delightful attraction. With narrow streets lined with shops, restaurants, and pubs, the town center offers a lively atmosphere. The Slate Quay and Victoria Dock areas are bustling with activity, featuring modern marinas, art galleries, and eateries, blending the old with the new.
