Caernarfon - Fortress town

by stevezero - last update: Nov 17, 2005

Caernarfon Town
Caernarfon castle
Caernarfon was always intended to be a fortress town. The town and its walls were built by Edward I as one of a series of castles to enforce the invasion of Wales by the English.
These days it's just the English tourists who invade en masse.
