(Welsh: ''Castell Caernarfon''). An impressive work began in 1283 by England's King Edward I as his planned seat of power in his attempt to subjugate Wales. Like [[Beaumaris]], this castle was quite functional, although never 100% completed.
Sept 2021: There are restorations going on. The castle itself is a large area and not a ton of other things to experience; fun to creep through the hallways and stairs. What is inside the castle is no extra admission cost. There is the Royal Welsh Fusiliers museum and a couple other small exhibits about the history of the family and castle. Cost is really reasonable and you need to book ahead of time online. I believe this is a covid protocol so may be temporary. I had not booked ahead because I wasn't sure where I was going to stop that day and the staff accomodated because there was still availability of tickets; thank you, that was appreciated. The castle is beautiful, the history is rich, the climb to the top has great views. Washrooms on site and a small gift shop. There is a pay parking lot right across the street and shops and restaurants in the area. There was also a street market outside the castle. I'd recommend; it has the castle, history, views, and exhibits at a very reasonable cost and then explore the beautiful downtown.
