Caernarfon Castle, Caernarfonshire

Caernarfon Castle

Caernarfon Castle is a mediæval fortress in Caernarfon, the county town of Caernarfonshire. This is a jewel of the castle-building of King Edward I, begun at the King's orders in 1283. Today Caernarfon Castle belongs to the Crown, and is cared for by Cadw.
