A trip to Caernarfon Castle is a must for any visitor when staying at Morfa Lodge Holiday caernarfon castleParks North Wales.

Constructed in 1283, the castle was not only set up as a stronghold of battle, but as a seat of government and royal peace.

Most castles will be seen with rounded towers, but not Caernarfon. The towers were designed to be visually interesting, along with offering practical options of flanking, deployment and use of hidden battlements on top of the towers and walls. The castles architecture was partially influenced by a desire to make the structure visually impressive, to symbolise the new English presence within Wales. The Castles structure was dictated by the way that the land lay, giving it a large area on the edge of the coast, where previously a motte-and-bailey castle lay.

There is no way to explain the atmosphere and vibe you feel when touring the historical grounds, thus it’s suggested that you make the effort to visit.
