Caernarfon Castle

The Castle is situation in the middle of the city so pased it every day as my B&B was close by.

What I remember most about the city is the B&B I stayed in that failed to meet minimum standards. And, leaving my red jacket behind, hanging on the door hook in my room. (I'm convinced the owners found it but because I reported them, probably decided not to cooperate in having it returned to me.)

Excavations on top of the motte in 1969 revealed no traces of medieval occupation, suggesting any evidence had been removed. It is likely that the motte was surmounted by a wooden tower known as a keep. The Welsh recaptured Gwynedd in 1115, and Caernarfon Castle came into the possession of the Welsh princes. From contemporary documents written at the castle, it is known that Llywelyn the Great and later Llywelyn ap Gruffudd occasionally stayed at Caernarfon. 82060902
