Few towns in Britain can claim to be inhabited without a break since pre-Roman times, but the Royal Town of Caernarfon is just such a town. Dominated by King Edward I's impressive medieval fortress, built to secure his foothold in Wales after the death of the last Prince of Wales. Caernarfon's Royal connections go from ancient Celtic chieftains to the present day, with the investiture in 1969 of Prince Charles as the present Prince of Wales held at Caernarfon Castle. Caernarfon has everything for the visitor - including one of the world's best preserved Castles, a Roman Fort, Welsh Highland Railway, a Floating Restaurant a Performing Arts Centre, Exclusive Craft shops, fine Restaurants, great Guest houses and Hotels, the areas largest Fun Centre, a first class Golf course and indoor swimming pool, tennis centre and sports facilities at the Leisure centre. Caernarfon is a town of contrasts: a busy market town, a major tourist centre, the county town for Gwynedd and a major local commercial and administrative centre. There can be few towns more thoroughly Welsh. Caernarfon welcomes all visitors to the town, and hopes that they will appreciate the town as much as those who reside there.
