Celtica stocks high quality gifts, crafts, jewellery, art and clothing. Items can be expensive but they often have seasonal sales too. The move has improved the cafe. It's now smaller, but you have a beautiful view of Victoria Docks, all it's yachts and the people passing by. The cafe doesn't offer any main meals, but it's the perfect place for a reasonably priced snack. They offer sandwiches, paninis, jackets, cakes and the like, and often have special offers such as a toasted tea cake with a drink for £1.50.

Twm Pen Stryd is a comprehensive gift and coffee shop in the picturesque village of Moelfre. The…read morecoffee shop to the rear is cosy with just a few tables, which adds to its charm; the ceiling being lined with teapots. For some people they may have gone a little overboard on the decoration though. The coffee shop's menu is fairly comprehensive, they serve a cracking cup of coffee, and the range of cakes is impressive. The owner is friendly and enthusiastic, and gave us some great recommendations of other places to visit on Anglesey. The gift shop at the front of the store is like a tourist gold mine, again very tightly packed with a whole plethora of goods. Cards, themed goods, items of clothing, childrens toys, jewellery and ornaments. Mostly of the highest quality, however, on the whole, a little pricey. Definitely targeted at the steady stream of tourists that are attracted to Moelfre though.

Caernarfon is known for its medieval castle, but its history stretches another millennium back. The…read moreRomans set up camp here under this name, and from this elevation they had views of Snowdonia to one side and the waters to the other. You now have these same views plus the fortifications of the buildings that once stood here. The grounds are fenced, so you are advised to adhere to the visiting hours. The museum may or may not be open when you arrive - it wasn't during my visit. As such, I can't totally vouch for what this site offers completely. Know that in my case my enjoyment of the site was based on my attempts to imagine the times of the past more than what is actually seen here. There are more evocative Roman sites in Britain, and while the scenery is nice it can admittedly be observed throughout Caernarfon (certainly from a tower of the castle). But I am an American, and cannot easily call a site with visible Roman heritage "average". I'm giving it a 4-star rating in this case, assuming that the museum provides good info. I would not call this an essential site to see in Caernarfon, but it's certainly worth the half-hour trek there and back to see it if you have the time. Standing on the site, framing the structural roots of the building in the forefront, the castle in the distance, and the estuary beyond, you feel like you are gazing through multiple eras of history simultaneously.
