Caernarfon Castle (Cadw)

Caernarfon Castle is shrouded in medieval history and recognised legend. Its immense walls guard the banks of the river Seiont, a structured fortress that has stood proudly for over 700 years. Positioned harbourside, this incredible example of classic English architecture has withstood the vast modernisation of Caernarfon as a salute to the stories that built Wales as we know it today.

Sygun Copper Mine

Sygun Copper Mine is a true wonder of Wales - a remarkable example of how the rich industrial history of a country can be preserved and transformed into an educational experience for tourists and local residents alike. Divulge yourself in the tunnels with self-guided tours that are separated by colourful chambers and the remaining echo of copper, silver and even gold embedded in the rocks. 

Segontium Roman Fort

Roman relics are a rare treasure in the Welsh countryside but Segontium Fort holds strong after nearly two thousand years. Segontium has passed into legend as Caer aber Seint – ‘the fort at the mouth of the Saint river’. Although it might not seem as grand as it once was, it is worth visiting to marvel at the ancient settlement.

Gelert’s Grave Walk

The legend of Gelert the Hound is surely one of great tragedy; a hound unfairly slain for an act of murder he did not commit, but his memory lives on at the grave site where he is commemorated today. Gelert’s Grave Walk takes you past Gelert’s Grave through the village of Beddgelert. This riverside trail is dog friendly and suitable for those travelling with children or who require access due to disability.

Are you up to the challenge?
