<Birthplace of the Prince of Wales - Caernarfon Castle>

Caernarfon Castle is located in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, northwest Wales, guarding the Menai Strait and the Afon Seiont estuary, and is adjacent to Anglesey Island. )Across the sea. Gwynedd is the region with the highest proportion of people still using Welsh, which shows that it still retains a strong Welsh tradition and culture. Caernarfon is the largest town in the Gwynedd region and has served as the spiritual symbol of northern Wales for hundreds of years. North Wales is more difficult to reach than South Wales because it is surrounded by mountains, but it also retains more Welsh characteristics. Normally, the locals only chat in Welsh, and you rarely hear English. Even the road signs are in Welsh. It feels like you have arrived in another country. I personally like this special feeling. I am also very happy that the local people have successfully preserved their national identity and language, have not been completely assimilated by the strong English culture, and can operate harmoniously under the framework of the United Kingdom. In fact, due to itinerary arrangements and renovations, I did not go inside Caernarfon Castle for a visit, but fortunately the hotel I stayed in was right next to the castle, so I could see the castle all the time. Although the castle itself is not particularly gorgeous, the ancient city walls look magnificent in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the sparkling sea beside it is also illuminated by the setting sun. Such a stunning scene is difficult to record with a photo, and can only be deeply The engraving in the mind. 🌟Small supplement: Edward VIII, who loved beauty more than power, was crowned Prince of Wales at Caernarfon Castle in 1911, and the current King Charles III was also crowned Prince of Wales at Caernarfon Castle in 1969. Nafon Castle was given the same title. 🚗Transportation: In addition to driving, public transportation requires taking a train to Bangor first, and then taking a bus for about 30 minutes to arrive! #myhiddengems #UK #Wales #Caernarfon #WorldHeritage #100WaysofTravel
