Things to do in Caernarfon
Caernarfon is a royal town and has a superb setting with the mountains of Snowdonia as a backdrop and wonderful views across the Menai Strait to Anglesey. The town is home to Wales’s most famous castle - Caernarfon Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built in the 13th century by Edward I as a royal palace and military fortress.
The mouth of the River Seiont where Caernarfon Castle stands is in the town, creating a natural harbour where it flows into the Menai Strait.
Dinas Dinlle is a Sand & pebble beach located 6 miles southwest of Caernarfon where dolphins and porpoises can sometimes be spotted. The popular beach offers views towards the Llŷn Peninsula and towards Llanddwyn Island on Anglesey.
On the outskirts of Caernarfon is the picturesque stone-village of Beddgelert, with its outstanding location of massive rock buttresses, steep mountain slopes and wooded hillsides. It stands in a valley at the confluence of the Afon Glaslyn and River Colwyn. Just above, in the centre of the village, is the old stone bridge with two arches. If you follow the footpath besides the rushing Afon Glaslyn to a stone monument, you will find the resting place of Gelert, the dog left by Prince Llywelyn to guard his child. When the Prince returned, he found the dog covered in blood and his son nowhere to be found. Gelert was killed by his master before a childs cry made Llywelyn realise that the heroic hound had in fact saved his child from a wolf.
The village is also linked with the Rupert Bear stories, as Alfred Bestall wrote and illustrated some of the stories whilst he lived in the village, in a cottage at the foot of Mynydd Sygun.
