Any visit to North Wales wouldn't be complete without a trip to the magnificent castle at Caernarvon. This is where the current Prince of Wales was invested way back in about 1969. The castle really is charming with lots of towers to walk up and walkways to amble across. Lovely views all round as well, Menai Straits to one side, lots of ancient rooftops to the other. There were one or two interesting shops in the town, and we finished our trip with a visit to Celtica, the Welsh shop. On our way out of Caernarvon we went and had a walk around the Roman barracks at Segontium; very like those at Caerleon in South Wales.
Many years ago I was offered a job in the North Wales town of Bangor, so we went and had a look round. Not quite sure why, but we didn't go into the cathedral, but I think we should have done. Did manage to walk all the way to the end of the lovely pier though, with stunning views over the Menai Straits, and looking across into Beaumaris where we had been earlier in the week.
Llanfairfrechan, with it's lovely little cafe, proved a good place to meander down along the seafront, watching the waves lapping on the shore.
