Caernarfon Town Walls

Walk the stone ramparts that have watched over this corner of Gwynedd for nearly 800 years. You'll trace the same path that medieval soldiers once patrolled, gazing out over the Menai Strait and the mountains beyond—it's the kind of thing that properly brings history into focus rather than just reading about it in a book. The walls are genuinely impressive when you're standing against them, especially around the gates and towers. Free access means you can pop in whenever, whether you've got an afternoon to properly explore or just fancy a quick stroll between the cafés on High Street and the harbourside.
