About Caernarfon
Caernarfon is a castle town on the Menai Strait in north-west Wales, where the Welsh language is strong and Snowdonia rises close behind.
Caernarfon Castle, begun in 1283 by Edward I, dominates the town, its banded stone walls and towers standing above the river. The castle was the setting for the investiture of the Prince of Wales in 1969, and the castle and town walls are a UNESCO World Heritage site. Segontium, a Roman fort on the edge of town, shows a much older history.
