Caernarfon Castle

As previus review, Harlech Castle offers more. However, Caernarfon Castle and all major other castles including Conwy can be visited if you purchase an Explorer Pass. The Explorer pass is great value for money and allows access to many sites across north wales.

The Museum inside Caernarfon Castle is extremely informative and it's clear there has been investement in this area. Caernarfon itself has many interesting streets and shops. If you are in North Wales, Caernarfon is a must see.

I was looking forward to visiting Caernarfon Castle, but unfortunately I was a little dissapointed with my experience. Although the castle is a magnificent, especially from the outside, sadly the interior is a bit lacking in excitement and interest, The staff are pleasant enough although thin on the ground. An audio guide would have been very useful and personally an essential item to bring the history of the Castle to life. Harlech castle was a much better set up with audio guides.The eagle and the dragon audio visual presentation of the castle was very good and saved the day.It was very cheap to enter, £10 for two so you can not complain too much. Personally they could charge twice that amount and put on a much better performance. Sad to say it, but the americans would have milked the castle for every bit of its history, unfortunately this was nowhere near the case.
