Excursion Caernarfon castle & royal welch fusiliers museum tour at Holyhead

Take the scenic journey across Anglesey and the Menai Strait to Caernarfon with its famous castle dating from 1283. Standing at the mouth of the Seiont River, the fortress with its unique polygonal towers, intimidating battlements and color-banded masonry dominates the walled town.

Explore the historic and imposing Caernarfon Castle, built in 1283 by King Edward I to demonstrate his dominance over the native population of northern Wales. Visit inside the once impregnable castle and explore its magnificent ruins with your guide. Afterwards, enjoy free time to explore further, or visit the Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum, housed in two of the castle’s towers.
