Caernarfon Bay

The medieval Caernarfon Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, overlooks Caernarfon Bay. It is one of the most impressive medieval fortifications in Wales and was constructed by Edward I in the late 13th century.

Yes, Caernarfon Castle is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site designation known as the Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd. It sits on the shore of Caernarfon Bay and is one of the finest surviving examples of medieval military architecture in Britain.

Caernarfon Bay is framed by the Llŷn Peninsula to the southwest and the Isle of Anglesey to the north. This geography creates a sheltered inlet along the northwest coast of Wales that has been strategically and culturally significant for centuries.
