Photo Days – Caernarfon

     4 Comments

I went for a walk today because it was nice and sunny. I took random photos of what I saw which today was Caernarfon Castle and surrounding area. Be warned a lot of random photos!

This playground is just inside the town walls. There’s a photo of me on that seesaw as a kid.

Within the walls there#s a lot of these cute little alley streets.

A statue outside the council offices – I think it’s meant to be a dragon

One of at least two chapels within the walls – I couldn’t get down to the second one

…this little room. Something to do with a religion but I couldn’t get over the road to read the notice.

    WOW, these are breathtaking! I would love to visit a Castle in person, but until I do these pictures are doing justice 🙂

    Is it still being used or is it abandoned (I’ve never understood abandoning a Castle, they’re so gorgeous!)

      It’s now a visitor centre. This castle was one of Edward’s castles after he conquered Wales and this one in particular was his HQ if I remember correctly. It’s where Prince Charles was crowned Prince of Wales I know that for a fact! I really need to visit the castle visitor centre again. In fact we want to try to visit all of them – Harlech, Criccieth, Conwy, Beaumaris and Caernarfon. It’ll be something to do this summer!
