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.

Good place to take the younger members of the family if they like their local history of all thing…read mores roman.Museum it self is small and parking can be difficult on the main road to Beddgelert out of Caernarfon but there is a little side road almost opposite the museum people can use to park.The place itself is full of acient artefacts found around the Caernarfon area.It gives you a feeling of how the old roman fort used to look like and the way they lived their lives back in the era.The old footings of their barracks are still there for you to take a look round and see what biught them to the area in the first place.

Notable as the birthplace of Bishop William Morgan, the first man to translate the bible into…read moreWelsh, the house itself (Ty Mawr: 'The Big House') is actually fairly small and unprepossessing by modern standards, and has mostly been rebuilt and renovated. However it's set in a beautiful location in the Wybrnant Valley, and the walk up to it - from the centre of the little village of Penmachno - is reward enough. It's open from late March to early November, with prices as follows: adult £3, child £1.50, family £7.50. Groups: £2.50, child £1. Personally, I feel the pricing is a bit high to see what is mostly a recreation of a 17th century cottage containing a collection of Bibles - but the on-site guide is full value for money, will give you a detailed and enthusiastic commentary about all aspects of Morgan's life and the history of the house - and provides loads of additional activities to keep the kids interested. Remember: the survival of the Welsh language started here. Staying in Penmachno itself, don't miss looking into St. Tudclud's Church. Penmachno was originally an important early Christian centre, and the church contains an outstanding collection of inscribed stones from the late 5th and mid 6th centuries AD. If you have time, continue on up the valley to Cwm Penmachno, where the workers at the nearby slate quarry used to have their homes.

You know what it's like,you win tickets to a Metal festival in the furthest reaches of North Wales…read moreat a Haven holiiday camp in the middle of march and even though the fest still wants money off you for accomodation (Didn't pay,we stayed elsewhere),and without blinking you turn to your much better (although no more responsible) half and say "Let's do it!" So because you won multiple tickets you drag a couple of friends (One of whom is a semi-metalhead and one who isn't) to Pwllheli with you. Now i've been to an indoor fest before in the shape of Damnation in Leeds,but that was at the Uni and not in a holiday camp,and I must say it did cause much merriment knowing that at some point in the weekend I would be pitting on a carpeted floor : ) Hammerfest had a good mix of Metal styles on offer from the post punk of Killing Joke,to the Hardcore of Hatebreed,to the Death of Flayed Disciple and finally to the Thrash of Sodom. Obviously there was a lot more bands than that,A LOT MORE!! As with all music fests the alcohol prices left a lot to be desired,but seeing as the onsite Spar had cans for £1.49 it wasn't that much of a problem apart from you couldn't take them into the venue,no matter though you just poured them into a plastic pint glass and Satan's your Uncle into the venue you go to jig around like a lunatic. There was also a very good market onsite that sold all of the usual stuff you want from a Metal fest,t-shirts,Cd's and sacfificial goats to name but a few. All in all it was a very well run fest in a lovely part of the world and with a decent mix of bands to keep most people happy. Will I be entering a competition to win tickets again? you bet your combat pants and new rocks I will!!! \M/ PS I did indeed pit on a carpeted floor and got the glasses smashed from off of my face (What kind of idiot pitts with his glasses on??) but the lushness of the carpet saved them. I've seen the future and it is carpeted!
