Caernarfon castle


Onwards and upwards we moved ourselves onto Caernarfon where we were going to see the castle and have general look around. The castle cost 6 euros each to get in and on the inside there are only about two information boards explaining a bit about the castle. If you wanted to know more information I believe it cost another 3 euros each for a guide. If we weren’t touring around then we would definitely have gone with a guide as we like to know about the places we are visiting. From what we did read, this is the castle where the future Kind Edward the second was born and he was given the title, Prince of Wales, which is now the title given to the next heir of the throne. 

Prince Charles was invested in the castle with the title in 1969 at Caernarfon castle. The castle is still very much in tact and like most castles has a nice setting around it.

After a look around the castle and in need of food supplies, we headed to Tescos to top up the fridge and cupboard. We are always looking to cut down costs and think ahead with the shopping which I think we might have achieved on this shop!

  1. You are making me feel old, I remember all the pomp and ceremony of that Prince Charles thing. It is hard to imagine it was 44years ago.
    Again it really is beautiful scenery.
