I live in Caernarfon

I spent a lovely day here in July of 2023. I’ve been wanting to come since I was a kid. This town is where my predecessors came from, sailing to the USA in 1730. At 78, I can only hope to make a return trip some day. Keep up the great walks.

Miss this place, my grandparents lived in Bethel, near to Caernarvon, i remember going to the floating restaurant, near the Mr Whippy ice cream van, fond memories.

I'm going in June for a few days, cracking video, I know where to go now, pub crawl all worked out, we're staying in the Anglers arms, so very relevant to our trip (wish you'd gone in and had a pint though). Can't wait, I'll no doubt be playing it again soon.

Fantastic I’m just watching this It’s great I visited here 10 years ago with my son on the West Highland steam railway The station is right near where your video starts I took the same route as you so it brought back many happy memories Unfortunately I wasn’t able to stay long as I had to get picked up by coach I’m looking forward to the rest of your video and will watch it right now 😊

All three castles, Caernarfon, Conwy and Beaumaris were commissioned by Edward 1 and built by Master James of St.George. Caernarfon was modelled on the walls of Constantinople.

Excellent informative production showing Caernarfon. I like your style which makes the area you are visiting the star of the show and not the person behind the camera. Welsh is the main language, and the Food in the Black Boy takes some beating. Scoops makes some excellent pancakes. It’s good to park on the Victoria dock , have coffee in the gallery and walk past the Marina into town. Looking forward to your next production.

When I was a teenager my father bought a boat from a guy who ran a fish and chip shop in nearby Waunfawr, We moored it in the harbour in front of the castle and over time came to know every boat name and many of the owners. When exiting on a transatlantic voyage somewhere, we had to toot the horn with one long blast followed by two short ones so that the bridge operator would come out of the little house (shown at the start) and open the swing bridge. The balcony you refer to at 13:54 - I have a picture of Charles and Diana standing there waving at the crowds on the occasion of his first visit to Wales with his [new] wife. She was wearing red on that day too! She was beautiful.

I was first there in 1950, though was then too young to appreciate it. I was there for then Prince Charles's Investiture in 1969 too.
