Some Caernarfon Cottages

Because of its geographical position commanding the roads north of and through the valleys of Snowdonia, combined with its natural sheltered harbour with access to the sea, the highway to the western world, Caernarfon was the inevitable choice for conquerors to build their fortress towns.

The Romans, who with their European mercenaries, built the fort of Segontium and occupied it for about four hundred years were the first to put Caernarfon on the 'map' of western Europe. With the aid of the catholic Celtic church that influence survived through the Dark Ages.
