Caernarfon, renowned for its imposing castle, is just the place for your next weekend break. The Caernarfon Castle is possibly the most famous of the many castles in Wales. Intended as a military stronghold, place of government and royal palace, the scale of this castle, if nothing else, is incredibly impressive.
The castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and there is now a museum in the castle about the oldest Welsh regiment. The waterfront of this charming town, with its views out to Anglesey, has recently been redeveloped and is worth a stroll around. If you want to get active there is indoor karting, a scenic cycle route and fun centre. Whether you go for a short break or longer stay, Last Minute Cottages has a range of late deals on cottages, lodges and apartments.
