There are a few high street names on Caernarfon’s main shopping street, but it’s in Caernarfon’s narrow medieval backstreets that you’ll find Caernarfon’s real shopping gems. Caernarfon has a wonderful selection of charming little independent shops selling local arts and crafts, local food and drink, Welsh language books and music, and beautiful (and unusual) gifts to take home with you. Even if you’re not in the mood for buying, browsing Caernarfon’s backstreet shops is a great way to discover the town’s lovely little nooks and crannies, and an excellent excuse for exploring this delightful and historic town.

Two separate railways, little in gauge, large in appeal. The 13½-mile Ffestiniog from Porthmadog to Blaenau Ffestiniog one of Wales's best-loved Great Little Trains, was originally built to carry slate. The Welsh Highland from Caernarfon to Porthmadog travels through some of Snowdonia’s most breathtaking mountain scenery and the show-stopping Aberglaslyn Pass – a whopping 25 miles from start to finish, making it Britain’s longest heritage railway. Put the two railways together with the Conwy Valley line and other public services for a memorable circular tour of Snowdonia.

Portmeirion is a village located on a private peninsula overlooking Cardigan Bay on the coast of Snowdonia, surrounded by woodlands and sandy beaches that was built between 1925 and 1976, by Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, who wanted to show how development could enhance the natural landscape. It is a premier visitor attraction in Wales, and welcomes about 225,000 visitors every year! (Older visitors may be interested to know that the 1960s TV series ‘The Prisoner' was filmed here.) The grounds are open daily until 19:30, so there is plenty of time to explore the village, gardens and woods.
