Step Back in Time at Caernarfon Castle

Caernarfon Castle is one of the most impressive and well-preserved castles in the UK — a UNESCO World Heritage Site that brings history to life. Built by Edward I in the late 13th century, its striking polygonal towers and grand scale were designed to make a statement, and they still do today.

Wander the castle walls, explore the towers, and take in views across the Menai Strait. The castle also houses exhibitions and displays that give insight into its turbulent past and royal connections — it was the site of the investiture of Prince Charles in 1969.

Located in the heart of Caernarfon, just a short drive from the cottage, it’s a must-visit for anyone interested in history, architecture, or simply a great day out. Suitable for all ages, with plenty of cafés and shops nearby.
