Hoogtepunten
Caernarfon is the Welshest of all towns in Wales, despite being founded by a Norman King and populated with English settlers. On this walking tour, you’ll explore its cobbled streets, learning about daily life, how the town has been governed over the years, and why the Welsh language is so important today. The tour starts in front of a statue of David Lloyd George, the English Prime Minister during WWI, which has a view of the English castle that was built to keep the Welsh in their place. From there, you’ll make your way across Caernarfon’s waterfront and the Pont Yr Aber swing bridge. As you stroll through the town’s old streets to St Mary’s Church, you’ll take in sweeping views of Caernarfon Castle across the Afon Seiont River, and meet the characters and ghosts of the past.

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.
