Caernarfon Castle

Classic medieval Castle! Beautiful piece of history. Nothing like being able to walk the walls and chambers of 800 years ago. Great museum of Welsh military history too! Even has a couple small cafes for drinks and snacks

This is a well curated and interesting castle. The exhibits are both stylish and informative. Some of the best ones are on the upper floors and worth the climb. Note the stairs are narrow and one person only so take care. The view from the top if the King's tower is worth the effort.

The castle is worth a visit while in Wales. Unfortunately, we took a 3.5-hour excursion from the ship port, and it was not enough time to visit all parts of the castle. The tour of the castle provides the opportunity to see many rooms and areas. The views from the towers are breathtaking! The spiral staircase up to the tower is steep with limited space. If you have issues with tight spaces or mobility, you will want to pass on the climb to the top. There were approximately 100 steps to the top, with only enough space for one person.

Wonderful castle, it's nice to go round and explore. There is no right way to go round, so you can just go round and take in all the history. There are steep spiral staircases, which is to be expected in a castle! You can walk all the way round the top, and go up some of the towers to go higher. It is very well maintained and a good trip for anyone wanting to learn more about history.

It is a great Castle in and of itself, which in the face of it offers good accessibility for the less abled. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a disappointment. Yes, you can explore the courtyard, but the lift to the tower was not available on the day we visited. Maybe because we were visiting in the off season (mid September)?On top of that the Welsh Fusiliers Museum had a ramp, but no automatic door, so you could not get in on your own. Once in the museum, you were quickly faced with a step up, so no other option than to turn back if you are in a wheelchair or on a mobility scooter.So I decided to have a cup of tea in the small cafe, while my husband explored the upper levels and the wall walk. However, here also steps to get in and no handrails!I was most disappointed. Luckily as disabled person and carer entrance was free for us. Or else I would have asked for my money back.

It's big and has lots of towers and exhibitions but absolutely no atmosphere. Not sure why, but I thought that as a kid, and again returning as an adult. There are far better castles in North Wales, but this one is fine if you want to find out more about its history.

Fantastically preserved castle with a whole days worth of exploring. Pleasant little cafe for coffee or sandwich breaks, and lots of installations dotted around with information boards illustrating the rich history of the place. Gift shop has a good range of products and staff throughout the site are friendly and welcoming.

I love Caernarfon. It’s a beautiful town.We visited mid November, when tourism is at its lowest. It was certainly fascinating walking round and hearing everyone speak the local tongue. We actually felt like we were in a totally different country.There are some fantastic bars and restaurants within the castle walls, it is also a very pretty place for pictures.If visiting, please be mindful of the locals. They love their area, and would appreciate if you respect it as though it was your own. I know I would. And should you visit, you’d see why.

Stunning old castle to tour through, not very informative though in terms of understanding what you are looking at, some other castles give you signs about what some rooms were originally ect. Otherwise it was nice to walk through and well kept.

Caernarfon CastleCaernarfon, WalesThis massive castle from the late 1200s was a lot of fun to check out. Just like one of the castles we went to yesterday, you can walk all around on your own. From climbing up steep steps to get on top of the tallest tower to walking down dark passageways, there's just something about exploring amazing castles.It took us over an hour to see everything we wanted to see and that was even with skipping a few parts as we much have walked up and down over 200 steps. There's a museum dedicated to Welsh soldiers in one section of the castle which was pretty interesting to check out.The views from the towers are incredible and you can clearly see what an amazing fortress this would have been back then. Highly recommended.
