Below are some of our top recommendations of what to see and do when you visit Caernarfon.
A highlight of Caernarfon is Caernarfon Castle, built in the Middle Ages and known as being one of the finest examples of architecture from this period. Situated on the banks of the River Seiont, the castle is one of the best places to go in the town no matter your interests, as there is plenty to see and discover around the site.
The waterfront around the castle in Caernarfon is also well worth a visit, having recently been redeveloped with plenty of great restaurants and shops. The town overlooks the channel separating Anglesey from the rest of the Welsh mainland known as the Menai Strait, and on sunny days the views out over the water are very beautiful.
If you’re after a day at the seaside, Dinas Dinlle is a small, nearby settlement that has a huge sandy beach, perfect for picnics and sandcastle building when the weather is warm. The Snowdonia National Park is also only a few miles away from Caernarfon and is another great spot for a day trip.
One of the key tourist attractions in Caernarfon is the Welsh Highland Railway, which carries its passengers 25 miles along a heritage railway line to the town of Porthmadog. You have the option to sit in first class and get served delicious meals at your seat, or can travel in third class and still enjoy a wonderful historic train ride through the beautiful Welsh landscape.
If you’re looking for outdoor activity during your time in Caernarfon, the Lon Eifion Cycleway is a brilliant route to explore. The 12.5-mile path is traffic-free and wide enough for plenty of bikes, walkers and pushchairs, offering views of the edge of Snowdonia’s mountains and chances to visit villages such as Bontnewydd and Penygroes.
For a bit of culture during your trip, the Galeri Caernarfon Arts Centre has a gallery space, theatre and cinema that all have a regular program of events happening throughout the year.
Caernarfon is a brilliant location for sightseeing in Wales, which means that visiting in the cooler months of the year between April-May and September-October will not disrupt your plans too much. The weather in summer in Wales is always the hottest and driest part of the year however, so if you’re after sunny skies and minimal chances of rain, the best time to visit the town is between June and August.
